Neck

Chicken necks are bony, meat-scrap-rich pieces superb for stock and for slow-cooked Southern and Asian dishes where nibbling meat from bones is part of the joy. Cheap collagen and flavour. Simmer for stock or braise in gravy until meat loosens. Not a primary roast cut. Freeze bags of necks from whole-bird breakdown. A few necks transform a thin broth. Provide napkins if serving as a braised snack.
