Are chicken broth and chicken stock interchangeable?

Question

If a recipe calls for chicken stock, can chicken broth be substituted?

Answer 1

Chicken stock is made from bones, gelatinous bones to be exact. so, when compared to broth, it's going to give your sauce alot more body. It also is much lower in sodium, so also take that into account when making what you're making. if it calls for stock, and you're going to use broth, cut down on the salt. chicken broth is made using not just bones, but meat also. you could easily substitute, just cut back on salt, and thicken your sauce up a little more at the end.

Answer 4

The main difference between a stock and a broth is that a stock is generally made from simmering bones and vegetables in water whereas a broth takes its full flavor from the addition of meat.

Answer 5

yes there practically the same. broth is from the meat and bones while stock is just bones. if u see a recipe for stock, dont go out of ur way for it, if u have broth, dont even think twice and vice versa.

Answer 6

It can be but make sure that you use the low sodium broth... and also it will not have the flavor of stock, but it depends on the application and should not make a difference

Answer 7

They're not exactly interchangeable. Chicken broth typically has a high(er) salt content, so you should adjust your recipe accordingly.

Answer 9

Actually its better for you because chicken stock has a lot of fat.
