I make chicken broth from whole chicken, too. It became crucial to do it this way because of our food allergies. Have you ever read a regular can of chicken broth ingredients. Didn’t like the price of the organic stuff.

i can’t handle bones in meat. i like to think that my ground beef, steak, or chicken breast was created in the store. if i start to think about it as a dead animal, i can’t eat it.
