I spatchcock my whole chicken so the back is strictly backbone spine.
I wish I could purchase just chicken spine. Makes the best stock.
Yeah, if no butcher shops will sell them to you or anything, probably out of luck..

Chicken feet are my favorite to use for stock, personally. I have been known to buy a rotisserie or smoked whole chicken from the store pretty much solely for it (stock), too.. LOL
 
Cooked (no pink), but thigh meat is tough and rubbery to me when cooked to a 160° IT as the breast to rest for the 165°. As many pros stated, thighs need more heat.
I quit whole bird many years ago and went spatchcock. I tent the breast to let the thigh and legs cook out

First part. As you should... so, for broth, all chicken bones, not just the spines , to have an awesome concentrated broth

I love all the bones and especially joints for stock.
I remember an episode from Frugal Gourmet where he mentioned the copious amounts of collagen from chicken feet. That wasn't his focus in the episode nor his personal life (alleged pedophile).
