Easy Homemade Chicken Stock Recipe

Ingredients:


400g chicken carcasses (back, legs, neck)

1 medium brown onion

3 ribs of celery

3 medium carrots

2 bay leaves

2 sprigs of fresh parsley 

2 cloves garlic

3 liters cold water


Directions:

Wash, peel and chop carrots into thick slices. Wash the onion and celery and cut into big chunks. Peel the cloves of garlic and squash them with the side of a knife to release the flavour. Add all the ingredients into a large pot and cover with water. Bring it to the boil and then reduce heat. Simmer for about 2 to 3 hours on low heat. You can simmer for a longer time if you wish to make a more concentrated chicken stock. When this is done, pour through a sieve and discard all the vegetables and chicken pieces.

Cool the homemade chicken stock quickly by placing it into a large, clean square shaped pyrex dish or two. Once the stock has cooled, refrigerate and use within 24 hours or alternatively you can freeze it in small portions for later use for up to a month.
