"chicken strips"

So I've heard people talking about chicken strips in relation to their tires, and I'm wondering what they're talking about. I'm thinkin it's 1 of 2 things, either the strip down the middle of the tires that lots of times wears faster than the outside edges, or the very torn up edges that result from a lot of hard cornering. Either one correct? If not, what is the true deffinition?
Chicken strips of motorcycles refer to the unused upper layer of motorcycle tires which are quite clear without any spots or scratches.
