Description

Insanely easy way to make homemade chicken stock. All you need is a slow cooker, rotisserie chicken, and some basic vegetables. 


Scale

Ingredients

  • Bones and skin from 1 whole rotisserie or roasted chicken*
  • 1 large onion, peeled + quartered
  • 2 carrots, cut into chunks (no need to peel)
  • 3 celery ribs, cut into chunks
  • 5 fresh sprigs of thyme
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley leaves + stems, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic (no need to peel)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. whole peppercorns
  • 2 quarts water

Tools

  • slow cooker
  • fine mesh skimmer or tongs
  • large bowl
  • fine mesh strainer
  • cheesecloth, optional
  • storage jars or containers

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker. Cover with water. It’s okay if not everything is fully submerged. Cook on low for 8 hours.
  2. After the stock is done cooking, remove all the bones and vegetables with tongs or a fine mesh skimmer. Pour the stock through a fine mesh strainer and into a large bowl. For a cleaner, clearer stock, clean out your strainer, and line with a cheesecloth, and strain the stock again or line your bowl directly with cheesecloth.
  3. Divide the stock between several mason jars or storage containers. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Makes about 6 – 6 1/2 cups stock.

Notes

*I used a whole rotisserie chicken to recipe test and I basically picked off the meat from the chicken and whatever was left (bones, skin, spine, some meat chunks, etc.) I used for the stock.

    Once you have made the stock (stick with recipe given adding a little lemon juice) why not put your mason jars into a water bath and preserve it. I do this all the time … I must have at least ten to twenty quart and pint size in my cupboard. Yo!u can not beat the flavor over store bought. Your homemade chicken soup will be spectacular!!
