I couldn’t find an exact commercial listing for “Fotards The Giant Fresh Chicken Backs” by that name, but here’s what chicken backs generally are as a product (which is almost certainly what this refers to):
🍗 What chicken backs are
Chicken backs are the pieces of a chicken that include the backbone, some meat, skin, fat, and bones — basically what’s left after breasts, wings, and legs are cut off. They’re commonly sold as a fresh or frozen poultry cut. (giantfood.com)
They tend to be:
- Flavorful because the bones and skin release rich taste when cooked
- Economical compared with prime cuts like breasts or thighs
- High in collagen and bone marrow nutrients which is great for stocks, soups, and broths
- Used in cooking stews, soups, sauces, or slow‑cooked dishes where bones add depth and body to the flavor. (papfarmsgh.com)
Nutritionally, for a similar product like all‑natural chicken backs:
- They provide protein and fat from the meat and skin
- They have no carbohydrates or sugars
- They are mostly minimally processed poultry meat. (giantfood.com)
🍽️ How people use chicken backs
- Making chicken stock or broth: simmer them slowly with veggies and herbs to extract flavor
- Enhancing soups & stews: adds richness that plain water doesn’t
- Slow‑cooked dishes: in a pressure cooker, slow cooker, or oven
- Grilled or roasted (less common but possible)
Because chicken backs are mostly bones with some meat, they’re not usually eaten on their own like a roast chicken — they’re a base ingredient that boosts flavor and nutrients in a dish. (papfarmsgh.com)
If you want, I can give you a simple recipe for using chicken backs (like for broth or soup) that’s easy to follow 😊.
