Chicken Back

The chicken back is the lower part of the chicken's carcass, located behind the breast and wings. It includes the spinal bones, ribs, and often part of the neck. This cut is typically underutilized but offers rich, flavorful meat that's perfect for making broths, stocks, or even as a budget-friendly cut for slow cooking or roasting.

While it may not have the large, meaty cuts of the breast or thighs, the back provides tender meat with a lot of flavor, particularly in the marrow of the bones, which gives it a deep, savory taste when simmered.
