hope this is he right section to post this, and it’s not technically smoking related so forgive me, but here goes.
I cook a whole chicken every Sunday. Either roasted or smoked. Then part it out for lunch m-f. So I’m curious about using the bones to make my own chicken broth. I prefer using chicken broth in a lot of recipes that call for water (quinoa, rice, mixing taco seasoning, etc). Not too mention, Home made broth is better than store bought and it’s using the whole animal.
So my question is - what’s a good water to bone ratio? Everything I can find online is basically saying just cover the bones. However, it appears as if they’re talking about for 5ish birds worth of bones, where as I’m doing 1 or 2 birds. I don’t want to do too little water and it not extract all the goodness from the bones bc the water gets too saturated before that happens, and definitely don’t want to do too much water and have bland broth flavored water.
Any input here is great.
