Recipe
Good Basic Chicken Stock
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken bones including any combination of backs, wings, and necks
- 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and quartered
- 1 rib celery, cut into thirds
- 2 carrots, peeled, cut into one-inch chunks
- 5 parsley sprigs, with stems
- 10 black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 gallon water
Directions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a stockpot or kettle and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for three hours. Some froth or scum may accumulate on the surface; skim this off from time to time. At the end of the three hours, pour the entire contents of the stockpot through a colander or sieve. Cool. Chill stock overnight and then remove the fat that has congealed on the surface. Stock is ready to use or freeze.
