Chicken Backs (Bones) - 4 backs to pkg Chicken Backs are basically about 90% skin and bone. Backs are extremely popular in the southern states: even though there is little meat on them, they offer lots of area to be coated with batter and deep-fried. They are also good barbequed with lots of tasty sauce on them. Backs are really no different from chicken wings, which also have little meat on them, but which fly off the menu because people buy them for the tasty coatings.

Cooks elsewhere tend just to use Chicken Backs to make stock from. They are good for stock because they have a lot of bones with flavorful marrow inside them. And the bonus is that, with the Chicken Back holding just a fiddly small amount of meat, you don’t need to feel wasteful about just using it for stock.
