"The best thing to do with chicken is to brine it, a true wet brine with a 3% or 3.5% salt brine for 24 hours. The trick is to air-dry your chicken in the fridge for another 12 to 24 hours to dry out the skin a bit so it gets crispy on the grill."
The average oven broiler generally reaches 500 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. As well as being an incredibly tough material and, despite its malleability, aluminum foil is well within its range to handle the high heat of a broiler. At 1,220 degrees Fahrenheit, it has a melting point over double the average temperature your broiler can reach.
Bones give the broth body, and dark meat adds richness. While white meat chicken, say from the breast of leftover rotisserie chicken, may be easy to add to your soup, it won't give you great depth of flavor like a drumstick would.
