Question: 1 / 400

When identifying parts of a chicken, a part severed from the breast at a specific point is known as what?

Wishbone

The wishbone, or furcula, is a specific part of the chicken that is formed by the fusion of the clavicles. It serves a unique purpose and can be easily identified as it is located at the front of the bird, directly beneath the breast. When a chicken is processed, the wishbone is typically removed from the breast area at a certain point, making it a distinct anatomical feature separate from other parts.

In contrast, the breast quarter or breast quarter without wing are terms used to describe larger sections of the chicken, specifically involving the meat and bone structure that includes more than just the wishbone. The term “split breast” refers to a section that has been cut down the middle to separate it into two halves, which does not specifically identify the wishbone. Therefore, the wishbone is accurately described as the part severed from the breast at a specific point, distinguishing it from the other options.
