Chicken backs are not generally offered in regular grocery stores are they're viewed as undesirable due to the mostly bony content thus making them a *cheap* cut of meat. Most ethnic stores have them available as ethnic cooking consists of a lot of "old school" type of cooking, aka soups from scratch where such cuts would be desirable. If you can visualize an entire chicken; take away the breasts, wings, thighs, drumsticks (am I missing something? LOL) what you're left with is the chicken back. It starts right below where the chicken neck used to be and ends at the butt, rofl. Like a somewhat narrow, long piece of bony piece of meat. I guess I had predisposition to this kind of stuff as pretty much my entire family consists of master butchers, butchers and chefs. My uncle in Germany had a butchery and grandpa was master butcher in a large slaughter house! Oh, would that be useful to me now!!!! *Day Dreaming*

I have a question that I am almost embarrassed to ask....I feel better because I have asked 3 friends already and they do not know either....<whispering> what exactly are chicken backs????
I know chicken wings, thighs, breasts, gizzards, legs, and on and on....but what does the back consist of? I have never seen anything labeled as such, and pulled up websites showing extensive diagrams of various chicken parts, but none showed it. I know you guys are probably ROFL over this silly question, but I just have to ask it.  |
