[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I forgot the bay leaf too!  I use a couple.

23:52 here.  No, I don't smash the bones.  Just toss them in.  And yes, my dirty little secret is that when I'm cleaning up dinner, if it's just the family, those bones from the plates go into the ziploc too.  (I don't do it with guests, not because I fear guests' germs but because I don't want to creep out the guests.)  When that stock's going to simmer for 8 or 10 hours, I don't worry about whether someone nibbled on the bone before it went in.

Usually, though, what happens is, the first meal with the chicken, we just lop off the drumsticks and a thigh, or a little breast meat, maybe a wing.  (It's just DW, DS and me.)  Those bones will end up in the bag, I admit.  After that meal, in the kitchen, I remove the rest of the meat from the carcass, and store it in a container in the fridge for the coming leftover meals.  So most of the meat ends up being served boneless on day 2 or 3, and most of the carcass and bones go straight from my cutting board into the ziploc, without crossing anyone's plate.  [/quote]
