Having made this, I have discovered another fairly obvious benefit of making this.  Really good chicken stock.  You probably wont use all of the vegetables and original stock. Just chuck the chicken carcass back into the pot with a little water and a few more vegetables if you have any laying around.  Boil up and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, allow to cool and then strain and freeze.  I got more than a litre of good chicken stock from this.
