After enjoying the tender and juicy drumsticks and wings, Lin Chen tore off a piece of the breast meat to taste. He immediately gave up on the impulse to pick up the whole thing and gnaw on it.
"It's breast meat, after all. Without brining it, making it both tender and juicy is obviously impossible, so I'm going to prepare it a bit differently."
His hands moved as if equipped with precision radar. He gripped the breast, and with a gentle pull, the entire piece came off whole.
The wild mushrooms hidden inside the grouse's cavity spilled into the pan, carrying with them delicious, fragrant juices. The aroma was richer than anything he'd smelled on his journey so far.
He shredded both pieces of breast meat. He also carefully picked off the remaining meat from the carcass—the wishbone meat and the meat around the pelvis.
