I'd have frozen the bones and stuff till I got more variety of parts.
About a week ago I made stock with a letove roast chicken carcass that
still had ~1/3 the meat on it. I added 8 drumsticks from the freezer
that had been there over 2 years but didn't appear freezer burned.
Celery and onion for flavor, and the resulting stock was delicious.
