Need help with a chicken part name

[Peter B Wolf]

Funny, I've never heard it called an oyster.  I call it the scallop, and I thought everybody else did too.  Where have I been all my life?

Since people are sharing stories of how they remember finding this gorgeous "nugget".... Having grown up in India, where chicken legs are marinated in spices (tandoori or otherwise), along with its texture, I remember it for having intense flavor as the spices usually get into the nooks and bones / meat in that area.

Many thanks, chicken oyster it is.

I've always referred to it as chicken armpit- though anatomically this is clearly wrong.

Arbutus do a splendid chicken armpit and macaroni dish, in a lemony (lemon thyme ? lemon verbena ?) cream sauce.

There is a restaurant in Paris that has Sot-l’y-laisse with ratte potatoes on its menu.
