bcoz, that sounds really good. I have made chicken broth many times but I have always boiled the whole chicken. The broth is good but the chicken isn't any good because you have boiled everything out of it. It makes sense to do it the way you suggest. I don't know why I didn't think of it before because thats what I do with the left over turkey carcass ~ it will be much easier to manage with a small chicken. By the way how did you make the chicken avacado soup. Sounds heavenly.
