You are probably referring to an old Canadian tradition of removing the "wishbone" of a Christmas fowl, whether it be chicken, turkey, goose or duck, and storing it for a week or so until it is dry and brittle. It is then broken by two people who each make a secret wish beforehand. The wishbone seldom breaks into two exactly equal parts, so whoever gets the bigger part will have their wish fulfilled.

The "wishbone" is a breastbone near the neck of the fowl, and resembles a Y-shaped slingshot. During the breaking ceremony, it is necessary for each of the two participants to grasp one of the long arms of the Y by holding it in the crook of their bent baby finger; this is to ensure no unfair advantage. The participants then pull away from each other until the bone snaps - the one left holding the bigger half will have their wish fulfilled.

Usually, during dinner, only a couple of people (the hopelessly romantic) will call for rights to the wishbone (while the rest roll their eyes); therefore, conflicts are not usually encountered.

Chicken bones are candies which are hard on the surface but brittle on the inside. The inside tastes like peanut butter when you crunch through the hard surface.
