Chicken Oysters with Penne in Lemon Rosemary Sauce
Chicken breast is often the go-to in pasta recipes, but chicken oysters are actually the perfect accompaniment to this rustic dish. These small cuts of dark meat are so tender and flavorful, adding a layer of savory complexity to the aromatic cream sauce, enlivened with fresh rosemary and bright citrus.
Serving Suggestion: Chicken Breasts or Thighs can be substituted for the Oysters.

On a roasted whole bird, the chicken oyster is a dense, rich bit of dark meat at the back of the thigh, or along the low back of the bird, where the thigh meets the spine. Most cooks, when roasting a whole bird, place it breast side up with the skin on. When you roast the whole bird, the moisture in the meat is drawing into the center of the bird.
How do you remove oysters from a chicken?
Hold the leg steady with a carving fork in the thigh meat and cut down along the body to split the thigh from the chicken. As the thigh falls away, you’ll find the oyster at the back of the thigh.
