A chicken broth receipe says that I need 5 lbs of chicken bones. My grocery store didn't have any. Where can I find chicken bones or what would be the next best part I could use to replace the bones?
There are some answers for your reference as below,you can choose your best answers

I've never seen chicken BONES sold in a store anywhere ... Buy some chicken pieces, or just a whole fryer, and boil it up. You can always use the chicken in casseroles or chicken salad later.......

---

Just buy the broth or make your own by boiling a few thighs or legs.

---

ask the butcher for back bones........or but whole chickens bake and debone; you can use the meat for stews, casseroles, or salads
the best of both worlds

---

if you are not making it from scratch with the bones, use the chicken boullion cubes.

I used to see frozen bags of either wings or legs with the backbone attached. They were 10 # bags, and really cheap. Don't know if you can still get them, but it's worth a look.

The other thing is that you can buy breasts, and skin/de-bone them. Freeze the bones and use in your next batch of broth.

Our shops sell chicken frames in the deli section.
You could just use chicken portions.
