deboned
Stripped of skeleton
Deboned describes meat or fish that has had the bones removed: deboned chicken thighs, a deboned trout.
The process makes eating easier and cooking more uniform.
Boned means the same thing, which can cause momentary confusion—both deboned and boned chicken are boneless.
