Re: chicken pulley bone segments
I agree that this is a choice piece for fried chicken. It is how Southern cooks get 10 pieces out of a whole chicken that usually yields 8. It used to be that that piece was a lot smaller - and prized - because chickens were normally sold under 3 lbs. Now, it’s hard to find a chicken that weighs less than 4 or 5 lbs. anymore. My absolute most favorite piece after the pulley bone, is the “oyster” - those choice pieces found in the back on both sides of the thigh. We used to fight over them as kids.
Yes, the oyster is good. A lot of people overlook it.
