i do this, always make broth from the bones afterwards and use all the leftover chicken for chicken soup. usually thai themed with rice noodles.

sometimes you have to roast the bones, but they have so much flavor. kinda can't believe how many people buy meat without the bones, except for specific recipes that just really don't need bones or call for deconstructing a cut of meat a lot.

bones are great, and the organs make probably the most deep and flavorful gravy. if you're so worried about being seen as poor, just buy an organic free-range bird that comes with it's own name and home printed on it.

sorry for the late as shit reply, had to prep a dinner thing.

anyway the way i make stock is just roasted bones, onion, celery, and water. usually i add lime leaves, and one star anise, and all the pan drippings too, obviously, since a bunch of flavor is there. cook that at least 3 hours on a low boil heat. if you want extra broth, add a general chicken stock thing from the store. the next day, thai chilies and fish sauce help add more flavor to the soup.

when it's done i throw it in the refrigerator and scoop out most (but not all) of the fat, then set it aside in case i think the broth can do with more. end result should be a nice amber soup, not cloudy.

you can add a lot fo chicken broth to change it tho, more traditional route is obvious with carrots and maybe some black peppercorns, salt when making the soup itself. maybe some paprika and cayenne.

>> No.9873686

>>9873679
also for thai noodle soup: rice noodles, thai basil, steamed cabbage, bean sprouts. lately i've been trying new things in it like sauteed mushrooms (were okay), and green onion (didn't match the flavor very well).

desu the fact that you can add anything to soup is kinda why i like it. even if it doesn't go too well, it'll usually be alright.

Stock is the easiest fucking thing to make and the flavor and texture are incomparable to anything sold in a store. And thats from " free" inedible junk from a bird that costs less than 2 pre-cut chicken breasts.

I remove the legs and breasts from the bird, then dice up the rest and shove it into a pot. The most annoying part is having to cook the drumsticks so you can get to the bones so you can start making the stock.

I've started just adding the thigh meat whole to the stockpot since i never get around to eating it. I'll usually take it out after and eat it even though it's dry as fucking possible, the flavour is pretty good from having simmered in chicken stock.

>> No.9875458

gamey, when used properly, is used to describe meat that is tough or has been worked more, and most often is a flavor you find in wild animal or 'game' hence the name. Only a total fucking retard would ever call god damn farm raised chickens "Gamey". And I guarantee they have never experienced anything that could actually be called gamey.

Funny story, one time I made a roast chicken with a delicious lemon-herb butter all over it and under the skin and shit, then made broth out of the drippings and bones.

When I tasted it an hour later to see how it was doing I had forgotten one or two lemons went into it, and the taste freaks me out so much I didn’t know what was happening at first lol. Went through with finishing the broth tho, just so I could serve it to some friends and see their expressions.

To clarify, it was not good, way too much lemon.
