My family is not big on cutting around bones, so why waste them? I make quick work of boning the breast, and throw the breast bone, back, wing tips, thigh bones and skin into a bag in the freezer when I serve chicken or turkey breast for dinner. When I have 4 or 5 chicken's worth, I carmelize some onions and carrots in a stockpot, add water, herbs and the frozen bones, turn on the heat, and three hours later, I have chicken broth. I freeze it in pint-sized plastic freezer containers so I always have stock for soup or as a base for sauce.
