Chicken stock tips -- how to get the best flavor for your chicken stock

I often make chicken stock for my homemade chicken soup.  It sounds difficult, but it's easy. 

One thing I like to do is save pieces from chickens while I cut or trim them.  I then freeze them  for later use in stock. 

For example, if I make chicken wings, the 3rd piece on the wing is not 'good eats' for chicken wings, but it makes a really rich chicken stock.  When I cut them off, I just put them in a freezer bag and keep them until I get a bunch of them.  Then when I make the stock, I throw them in for added flavor.  This works well with chicken backs as well as the rib portion that often comes on chicken breasts.  You will not believe how rich these trimmings will make your stock.

There are lots of recipes for chicken stock on the internet if you do not know how to make it.
