    What is the difference between Bone broth and chicken stock.

    Here's an answer from BonAppetite.

    "Bone broth is essentiallÂstock," he admits. The confusion comes from the traditional definition for stock, which is more viscous due to the collagen that seeps out of joints and bones during long-term cooking, and broth, which is thinner and is made with more actual meat (versus meat-stripped bones used forstock).Jan 12, 2017

    Basically, bone broth is the same as chicken stock, it is just cooked longer!
