SmoothieGirl Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 So I generally feed Bronte chicken wings, lamb flaps or lamb necks. I see many references on the site in regards to chicken frames or chicken carcasses. This has confused me some, is there a difference and if so, what constitutes each? My definition would be that a chicken carcass is one with all the meat on, like you would roast, and chicken frames is a stripped carcass, so with almost no meat. Can you let me know what you guys believe each are and also which is better to feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I use frame or carcase to mean the same thing - the bones with the meat removed. Sometimes you get backs, which are (obviously!) just the back (the front ribs staying with the breast-meat when removed I guess?) If I was feeding a chicken as in a roasting chicken with the meat on I would refer to it as a chicken ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Chicken frames and Chicken carcusses are the same thing ;) The amount of meat on them can vary depending on what 'parts' have been taken from them if that makes sense. Sometimes there will be a fair bit of meat and organs, or the neck will be left on and other times it's mainly bones with a little bit of meat around them (wings, drumsticks, thigh and breast meat is always removed though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paganman Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Chicken frames and Chicken carcusses are the same thing ;) Yep depends on where you buy them what there called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I refer to them as chicken frames as I have blonde moments and can't always remember how to spell "carcasses" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I refer to them as chicken frames as I have blonde moments and can't always remember how to spell "carcasses" Fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieGirl Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks gang, I'm up to speed now. I'll have to see if I can get them at the local market or butcher. I'm sure Bronte would go wild for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 many supermarkets sell them either in the chicken section of the meat dep or in the pet meat section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
