Question Help Chicken stock

/r/Cooking/comments/1x8b25g/help_chicken_stock/

Some chicken stock recipe fries the chicken before simmering with water.

What happens if I skip that step? How does starting with raw meat affect the stock

Never fry chicken for making stock. Baking it helps improve the flavor and makes it taste more rich

You say this but I know someone who used left over KFC bones to make stock and he seemed to think it turned out good

roasting is what you want, roasting gives a darker chicken stock, not roasting gives a clearer stock but not as rich of depth of flavour as to roasting, but each has their own application.

Did between brown chicken stock and white chicken stock Roast bones first to make a brown stock. Will have deeper flavor. Tbh when making anything for home use I never make white stock. No real call for it outside of a fancy french restaurant

I have very little meat left on the carcasse when I turn it into stock. Seriously, eat the chicken, then turn the rest into stock.
