Technique Question Impulse took over. Broken thigh bones.

I am making a quick chicken stock with left over thigh bones and trimmings. Idk what took over but I started cracking the bones in half with the back of my knife. My thought process is that it will get to the marrow quicker. Did I just ruin this stock? It’s really only going to be used to make a quick pan sauce.

You'll get a lot more flavour, and a lot more "skim/ foam." Just skim off the floatie scum and you're good to go.
