Carcass

Chicken carcass is the bone frame after primary cuts are removed—or a roasted leftover skeleton—used almost exclusively for stock. Residual meat and joints enrich the pot. Break to fit the pot, cover with water, and simmer. Roasted carcasses give brown stock; raw give white. Strain carefully.
