Exactly what it says on the tin...
Chicken stock
Posted 01-02-08 at 18:41 by moth
Because it's better than the stuff you buy in bottles and packets that's why 
2kg raw chicken bits (wings, legs, neck, feet etc.)
a leek cut into large chunks
stick of celery cut into large chunks
3 carrots cut into large chunks
2 onions, whole, unskinned. Trim the 'root' end
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled, crushed
few sage leaves, sprigs of thyme, handful of parsley, bay leaf
Chuck that lot into a bloody big saucepan or stock pot and add enough cold water to cover the ingredients + 1"
Bring to boil over medium-high heat (as it boils skim off any fatty scum that floats to the surface). When it comes to the boil reduce the heat to a slow simmer for 2 hours, skim surface as required. Don't let it boil again, and don't cover the pot - yer stock will go cloudy
Allow to cool and strain. You can stick it in containers and freeze it

 |  Does this work with a cooked chicken carcuss? |

| |  Yes, any old chicken bits will do |

| |  sorry moff, but I have to disagree with you. It should, but I've never had much except for a weak tasting result, tasting of old roast chicken. Easy solution though. Instead of buying chicken breasts etc, buy a whole chicken & joint it, & freeze the carcass & wing tips, feet whatever. When you have a few, then do the above. Cheaper too!! I sometime reduce mine right down & freeze it in icecube trays. Just one cube does the do for a dish sometimes! |
