I was to understand there would be gravy? What kind of gravy will we be enjoying with our chicky and stuffing?

the breast is so tender and juicy with the most subtle of seasonings. I can cut it with a fork.

If you toss that carcass out and don't make some stock then you fail.

You want to make good eats? Get to it trooper.

You need at least 3 chicken carcasses to make a decent stock.

Disagree. 3 carcasses would make 3 large stocks (about 1 qt per)

If you need that many carcasses to make a decent stock then you are doing something really wrong or you are making a huge amount of stock.

I don't need lots of stock.

It takes about 5 lbs of bones to make a decent stock. That's about 2 qt. To make a nice jus of about 1 pint just reduce it.

I'm pretty anal about my stocks, it takes a full 8 hrs of near constant attention. Blackening the onion, roasting the vegetables, simmering the herbs, skimming and re-skimming the fat, straining and re-straining, reducing, more skimming...

Throw it and any leftovers in a big pot of boiling water right away. Don't wait.

Instead of saving the result for stock, I always make chicken soup. I make a nice hearty one in the winter with onions, plenty of carrots and cubed potatoes, a medley of green herbs, sometimes ginger or cayenne, and either barley or rice.

Mmmmmm, I can smell it now!

It's another Festivus Miracle every time! :laugh:

I can hardly wait for Christmas and the turkey I bought.
