Howdy!
I generally buy leg quarters because they are always on sale somewhere around here for .49 a pound in 10 pound bags. I find them to be about the most versatile cut.
I’ll toss the carcass from a roasted chicken in a ziplock bag and stick in the freezer until I have enough to haul out the 30 quart stock pot, then I freeze the stock in quarts for when I want to make chicken and dumplings or soup. For all other purposes I buy canned broth as well!!!!
If I had a 30-qt pot, I might do the same! I’ll have to remember “leg quarters.” For regular use, we get skinless-boneless chicken breasts (only on clearance) and make a little meat with a lot of vegetables.
