​Chicken Stock

​Making homemade stock isn't as daunting a task as you may think.  There are commercial stocks not too heavily ladened with salt; for me homemade is the way to go.  I have 'Better than Bouillon' condensed organic stock in my fridge for those times I don't have homemade stock at the ready.

My stock may turn into a soup, added to a sauce or utilized to make gravy.  

In a dutch oven or large stock pot, fill it up with water to a couple of inches from the brim.   Leave room for the stock ingredients.  You may use a chicken carcass with meat left on the bone.  I prefer to make my stock with baked bone-in, skin-on thighs.   



Ingredients
​

4 - 6 cooking onions, peeled & cut in half
2 - 3 carrots, cut in chunks
2 - 3 celery stocks with leaves
2 - 4 garlic cloves, smashed 
1/2 bunch of Italian parsley
6-8 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
salt, to taste

​Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika on the chicken thighs.  Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.  Fill pot with water.  Add the chicken and the drippings to the pot for added flavour. Remember to leave room for the vegetables.

Prepare vegetables.  Add first 4 ingredients and top the stock pot with the parsley.  Add salt to taste.

Bring the pot to a boil, then simmer for a couple of hours or until you have the desired taste.
If your stock isn't as tasty as you would like, add a tablespoon or two of commercial bouillon to enhance the flavour.

Allow the stock to cool.  Using a colander strain the stock into a large bowl.  Remove the chicken from the bones.
Store stock in the refrigerator in a well-sealed mason jar for a 2-3 days.  
​Remove the fat that settles on the top with a spoon.  Discard.

Option:  Purée the vegetables and store to use in another recipe. Vegetable purée is a tasty sauce thickener.
Add the cooked chicken to soup, if desired, or shred and add to your favourite casserole or enchilada. 
The only waste is the bones.
