  • Patent number: 6929541
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for cutting a fowl to create a meat cut which includes the radius bone and muscles (meat) adhering to the radius bone. The method involves separating the radius bone and muscles adhering to the radius bone from the carcass of the fowl, and then removing the radius bone and muscles adhering to the radius bone from the carcass of the fowl. The meat cut may be produced with the cutaneous tissues attached to the muscles adhering to the radius bone or with the cutaneous tissues removed from the muscles adhering to the radius bone to produce a skinless meat cut. The resulting meat cut contains a larger percentage of meat and is easier to consume. Alternatively, a portion of the muscles (meat) adhering to the radius bone can be removed to create a meat cut having less meat.
