Hi! I have just processed my 5 months old Maran rooster. I put him to "rest" for approximately for 2-3 days. BUT . This time I want to make broth from head, feet heart and back, and then make some chicken soup. Should I rest these pieces also? Or should I proceed immediately right now with the broth ? I would prefer waiting because the "back" part of the chicken still resting with the whole carcass. But at the same time I am not sure if the "heart" can sit for 2-3 days uncooked. Thank you for any input. Natalija
What I do is immediately freeze the parts I make broth out of. Then at my convenience (or when I need the room in the freezer) I make broth. You could boil the parts you have ready in water for a bit to kill any bacteria in them, then cool that and refrigerate it, including the water, while you are waiting on the back.
