Description

Chicken bones are the bony remains of the chicken, primarily used to prepare broths and soups that provide a deep and nutritious flavor to recipes. These bones, which include carcasses, spines, and less meaty parts, are ideal for extracting gelatin, collagen, and minerals during slow cooking, resulting in a rich and hearty broth.

The use of chicken bones in cooking has an ancestral origin and is common in many cultures around the world, especially in Latin American, European, and Asian cuisines, where they are valued to maximize the use of the chicken and enhance the flavor of preparations such as soups, stews, and sauces.

Regarding their properties, chicken bones are an excellent source of collagen, which can help with skin and joint health, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. When cooked slowly, they release these nutrients into the broth, making it a healthy and comforting option in the diet.

In different Hispanic American countries, chicken bones may also be known as carcasses, chicken spines, or simply chicken scraps. In all cases, they are used for the same culinary purpose of enriching broths and traditional preparations.
