Re: Re: Chicken backs, whats that?

[Guest guest]

When you cut a whole chicken up, it's the spine with all the tiny bones you have to strain out of the chicken stock ;-).  I usually cut that out when I bake the chicken--towards the end so the breasts are not pink.

 

BTW, what is wolf fish?  I've never heard of it before.  Love your blog, easy recipes for one person.

Thanks, I love river catfish--will use that for wolf fish.

The back is not the tail of the chicken. If you have a whole chicken

and lay him down on his legs, breast down, it is the spine of the

chicken. If you have poultry shears (easy to find here at the grocery

and priceless since whole chickens are cheaper) then cut straight up

one side of his back then straight up the other side of his back, that

is cutting the back out. You can then cut straight through the

breasts-not through the breasts but between them and you have two

halves of one chicken. It's a lot faster to bake or grill that way

also. I do that sometimes if I'm in a hurry or if I don't buy it at

the regular store.

You can freeze all your backs and use it as stock. The tail is at the

end and is above the 'opposite end of what you stuff if you stuff your

baked chickens'.

Does that make sense? As it cooks (and if you add apple cider

vinegar, it leaches the minerals) it will fall apart into all the tiny

bones in the spine. You'd need to strain that out for the stock.

It's one long piece.
