Does anyone simmer chicken bones in store bought chicken stock?

I understand you might ask why, but Im just thinking to get a little extra flavor vs just simmering the chicken bones in water. I have limitied time tonight to make chicken noodle soup (about an hour) and was thinking about getting a rotisserie chicken and removing the meat and simmering the bones in the store bought, low sodium stock for 45 minutes.
Is this asinine or is there some smarts to this?

It won’t hurt. As much as roasty flavors, it’s the collagen from the bones that you’ll get the most benefit from. That’ll add some heartiness and richness to your finished product. There’s zero reason not to.

I do this at least once a week. No reason in throwing those bones away without getting max usage.

I do that for my Turkey and sausage gumbo..I put two Kitchen Basics Turkey Stock in and the rest is water to cover the bones. Plus veggies and spices. When it is frig cooled it has a gelatin consistency.

I do. Whether or not it makes a huge difference, who knows.

It can be done but I think I would use the store bought chicken stock and rotisserie chicken meat and make your soup.
Then roast the bones, throw an onion, carrot and celery in another pot with roasted bones and about 2 quarts water and let it simmer until it is about a quart and a half, a couple three hours. I find I can get about a quart and a half per chicken bones but you could probably get more if you like.
Then you have a nice store bought soup to eat will making a nice stock for the next soup.

Not that additional roasting ever hurts, but the whole ease of a rotisserie chicken for me is that the bones are already roasted so you can jump right to stock :)

Not really. You have to roast the bones after you pick the meat off the chicken.

Yeah they’re not deeply browned but they are technically roasted and do the job fine. America’s Test Kitchen did a thing on it a long time ago.

This guy does exactly that for his gumbo recipe: LINK
Around the 2:40 mark or so. Nothing wrong with it, and a great idea if you're short on time and looking for some extra flavor.
But yeah it looks like a lot of people add bones to store bought stock. Im sold now.

I've done it and it results in a nice gelatinous mixture including the store bought stock.

I like to to roast the bones in the oven then break open and toss back into stock and simmer.

A friend of mine made that recipe for a party a few weeks ago. It was very good!

whats the point if you are already buying chicken stock?
if you want a stronger chicken flavor then add a can of cream of chicken soup to the store bought stock

It gives the stock a stronger flavor.

It can only add to the flavor. You could add an envelope of dry Lipton chicken soup for flavor - or a packet of chicken gravy to thicken it some. Whenever I cook a brisket, I add a chicken gravy. It doesn't change the flavor, just adds to it. Never settle for cheap, store brand broths or gravies; they are tasteless. What are some good chicken broths out there?
