Chicken is the most difficult, but it's high in Iron. Just break both ends off bones and extract the brown marrow. I toss the long parts in the freezer for making bone-broth and feed the knuckle ends to my dogs. Their eyes really light up when they hear that crrrraaack

Not much gets waisted round here!


I have a question about breaking the chicken bones and taking the marrow out. If you're going to use the bones for bone broth, wouldn't it be better to leave the marrow in them? I am accumulating bones in my freezer from roasted chickens for my first pot of bone broth, and the recipe I have says to break the bones before putting them in the water. I assumed that was so the marrow would go into the broth.
