Should you roast rotisserie chicken bones when making soup?

Do you think it’s a good idea to roast the bones from a rotisserie chicken when preparing soup? I have some leftover bones from a store-bought rotisserie chicken in the freezer, and I’m planning to make chicken noodle soup tonight. I’ve heard that roasting bones before adding them to stock can enhance the flavor, but does this apply to cooked bones as well as raw? What temperature should I set my oven to, and should I drizzle them with oil?

  1. Yes, roasting rotisserie chicken bones can definitely enhance the flavor of your soup! While most people roast raw bones for stock, cooked bones can still benefit from roasting, as it can deepen the flavor. Preheat your oven to around 400°F (200°C).

    It’s not necessary to cover the bones in oil, but you can lightly coat them if you want to help with browning. Spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet will ensure even roasting. Roast the bones for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. After roasting, you can add them to your pot along with water and your choice of aromatics and vegetables to make a rich and delicious chicken noodle soup. Enjoy!
