Chicken Stock
Report
Homemade chicken stock is so rich and full of flavour, and so easy to make with just a couple of minutes prep time.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 chicken carcass
- 1 rib celery
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 15 g fresh parsley
- 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Chop the carrot and celery into 5cm/2inch pieces. Peel and quarter the onion.
- Add all the ingredients to a large pot.
- Cover with water.
- Bring to the boil then immediately reduce to your hob's lowest heat. Simmer for 2 hours, occasionally discarding any froth that may collect on the top.
- Using a large slotted spoon, remove all the vegetables and as much chicken, bones and skin as possible.
- Place a fine mesh bag over a jug and pour the remaining liquid into it. Strain out all the liquid.
- Allow to cool and transfer to an air tight container. Store in the fridge.
Notes
- If you want to make sure that you are extracting as many nutrients from the chicken bones as possible, then add a little splash of apple cider vinegar to the stock. You won't be able to taste it.
- Try not to break or crush the carcass in the pan, as this will discolour the stock and you want a nice clear stock.
- If the stock produces any foam when cooking, skim that off to give a clearer stock.
- As the stock cools in the fridge, the fat will rise to the top and solidify. You can scrape this off if you want a clearer stock for using in chicken noodle soup. But if you are using it to make a flavour packed stew, there is no need to do this.
- You need to use a pan big enough for everything to fit snuggly in. Don't worry if the bones stick out a little at first, as they will collapse as they cook.
- If you want this stock to go further, then add a stock cube and 250ml extra water. You will still have that homemade flavour, but it will stretch a big further.
- Season your stock as you go and add more as needed.
