I have been slow cooking chicken quarters for about 10 hours on low in my crockpot over the last week. They turn out great, and the meat literally falls off the bone when you pick up a piece. I've been saving the bones so I could oven roast them and make a stock. It occurred to me the last time I did this to save the broth to use when simmering the bones to get even more flavor in my stock. I finally checked the cooled broth, it's basically jelly. I accidentally created chicken stock. My question, are the bones still potentially usable in a roasted chicken stock? Or have I been wasting my time hoarding these bones?

I've realized today is my Reddit cake day and I still have about 35 minutes left to acknowledge it. Just started on Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts at recommendation of this sub and I'm loving it. I'd like to learn more about the military career of Napoleon post Toulon and the French involvement in Spain. What books would y'all recommend?
