Artist conceding to pinching good joint of meat (5)

I believe the answer is:
gigot
'joint of meat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gigot that I've seen before include "A bit of mutton" , "Perceive by touch" , "Mutton or lamb leg" , "joint of meat" .)
