Commercial bone broth: is any of it real, or is it all made of LIES?

The real pro trick is to get rotisserie chickens, eat what you’re going to eat, and toss the rest into the pot for stock. It’s roasted chicken bone broth, and you already got to eat the meat.

Yep, this is what I do-- use the leftovers from two Costco rotisserie chickens for stock. I freeze a carcass and save until I have a second one to make stock from.

Also, I started a thread on homemade chicken stock a few years back in which @Puzzlegal said she liked using a mix of roasted and raw chicken for the most well-rounded stock:

My absolute favorite, though, is a stock made about half and half from roasted leftovers and fresh raw wings, feet, and backs.

So ever since then, I keep a bag of raw frozen chicken wings on hand and throw a few thawed ones into the pot along with the rotisserie leftovers and it does indeed make for a fantastic stock / bone broth.
