Han så en slakterbutikk, og gikk raskt inn og stjal et fint, saftig kjøttbein fra hyllen. [[1]]

Both adjectives are tagged as being singular and neuter, which corresponds to the head of the NP in which they are embedded; et fint, saftig kjøttbein. Although kjøttbein is only tagged as neuter, its indefiniteness is given by the determiner et, which also agrees with the noun.
