Ingredients

  • carcass and leftovers from two whole roasted chickens if I don't have left over chicken bones on hand I use about 3 lbs of store bought legs and wings
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 bunch of celery
  • 1 onion
  • a few peppercorns
  • 3-4 garlic cloves

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a medium or large stockpot
  • Add 4 quarts of cold water for each chicken carcass you are using (8 quarts for this recipe)
  • Over medium heat, bring water just to a boil, then reduce to medium low and keep stock slightly bubbling, but not boiling
  • After 8-12 hours, or when the stock has turned a golden brown, pour all the contents of the stock pot through a fine strainer to remove the bones and vegetables
