Best parts

This is all that is left of a chicken that I cooked. Literally. All that is left.  A few years ago I would have cooked a whole chicken but then thrown away the skin, organs, tendons, you know, all those bits we just don't eat.  Even a year ago I cooked the whole bird but then fed everything I didn't deem to be "meat" to the cats and dog. But this time I was picking the meat off the carcass while listening to the kids running in the yard. So I tossed everything that I didn't want- heart, feet, liver, bones, connective tissue etc... back into the pot and boiled it with an onion and a bullion cube. Then the next time the kids came over I gave them the "soup" and they ate it all over rice. All of it. These bones are even cracked open so they could suck the marrow out. Kidneys, neck, everything. Gone. And then they thanked me for saving the best parts for them. No problem kids. I'm glad you enjoyed.
