'oysters'..?

'oysters' are the little pieces of tender meat found on the back of the bird. If you roast a whole chicken and turn it over they are near the thigh. This photo (of a raw chicken) shows where they are:

I like chicken livers, but squeamish about cooking them.

TENOR SPAGHETTI

Spaghetti alla Caruso was named after the famed Italian tenor Enrico Caruso who reigned over the Metropolitan Opera house for eighteen years. Caruso, who frequently cooked, loved chicken livers and incorporated them into this dish with San Marzano tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and garlic.

My grandma made chopped liver. Added hard boiled egg, onion, and put it through a meat grinder. I like mine on rye bread with raw onion, or encased inside of a potato knish.

I do breasts on the grill. Cook them indirect heat, really slow. They are as juicy as you could possibly imagine.

Sounds good. I always think of the livers in pate - so this is interesting and different.
