Chicken Oysters

Oysters are two small, round pieces of dark meat on the back of poultry near the thigh,^[1] in the hollow on the dorsal side of the ilium bone.

In French, this part of the bird is called sot-l'y-laisse which translates, roughly, to "the fool leaves it there",^[2] as unskilled carvers sometimes accidentally leave it on the skeleton. In French, the term has been democratized by its musicality for its variations around s and l, French pronunciation: [so.li.lɛs] (listen).
