About Chicken neck

Chicken neck is the neck portion of a chicken, commonly sold bone-in and sometimes with skin. It consists of small bones and a relatively modest amount of meat, which is darker and firmer than breast meat.

It is used in stocks and broths, or cooked by methods suited to bone-in poultry pieces. The raw portion is irregular in shape; after cooking, meat can be picked from the bones. Products may be fresh or frozen, with skin and trimming varying by sale form.
