Whole chicken bone in and simmer for 3-4 hours. Produces natural broth and the chicken is the tastiest juiciest you will ever eat

Soooo damn good

You'll get none from me. I use them in my gumbos. The carcass/scraps make a great stock.

Ever try the thigh packs from Costco? They don't cost that much and are damn convenient with 4 thighs to each easily separated pack.

You Louisiana people have gone soft. The rest of the world is finally discovering the value of cooking everything at home and you people are going fast food. Typical.

Yeah, thigh packs are good. I like to get the 10 lbs bag of leg quarters. I don't recall seeing them at Costco, but they're available pretty much everywhere else. I make a broth with half of it to be used in gumbo and then fry, bake, BBQ, grill or freeze the rest to be noshed later.

Rotisserie birds are great for gumbo, I take all the meat off then throw carcass in a pot to make my stock. You get about $5 of free stock, its like the meat is free.

How long do you boil the bones for the stock?

I see you made low fat gumbo. I prefer to use an 8 piece spicy from Popeyes.

In a crunch, I will use rotisserie chicken, jar roux, prechopped trinity and frozen okra. Does it taste good? Yep.

It's better when you take your time but sometimes ya gotta adapt.

And it's still enjoyable.

I do it for 2 hours if I have the time. It reduces the volume of the water and makes for a very rich, concentrated stock.
