  1. What happens to the chicken from this dish? Is all the goodness taken and it’s discarded? Thanks ?

  2. I do this with chicken frames and wing tips, also add feet if I can get them, extra collagen. I like to give them a quick brown under the grill for some caramelisation, it adds to the flavour of the stock. Also a good table spoon of cider vinegar supports the bones to give up their goodness. As my slow cooker is able to, I will also pressure cook for an hour at the beginning to get it started, then continue slow cooking for 15 – 20 hours. Love using my own healthy flavoursome stock in all my recipes.
