I am currently making chicken stock and am wondering about the ratio of chicken to water. My book
says 1 gallon of water to 8lbs of meaty chicken bones. I tried two different stores and neither of
them fabricate their chicken products, so they don't have any bones. What I did was buy a whole bird
(around 4lbs on sale for 1.29/lb) skinned it, cut it into about 6 pieces and covered it with 1/2
gallon of water. My question is... since I'm using a whole bird, with a lot more meat than the
"meaty bones" the recipe calls for, can I add more water to the pot to get more stock out of this
batch without diluting the flavor too much?
Thanks, Tom
