What's the Difference Between Chicken Stock and Chicken Broth

🥣 Chicken Stock

• Made with: Chicken bones (often with a bit of meat still on them), simmered for several hours.

• Texture & flavor: Richer, thicker, and more gelatinous because the bones release collagen as they cook.

• Uses: Best for sauces, gravies, soups, and recipes where you want depth and body.

🥤 Chicken Broth

• Made with: Mostly chicken meat (sometimes a few bones), simmered for a shorter time.

• Texture & flavor: Lighter, thinner, and more straightforward in taste.

• Uses: Great as a base for lighter soups, sipping on its own, or cooking grains like rice or quinoa.

👉 In short: Stock = bones = richness and body; Broth = meat = lighter and cleaner flavor.
