Turn a carcass or meat bones into delicious chicken stock. This stock is a great kitchen staple to have in your refrigerator or freezer. Follow the directions for this simple recipe.

Step 1
Place the cooked chicken carcass in a large pot, then add a handful of raw vegetables such as carrot chunks and tops, celery chunks, onion pieces with skin on, fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs, a bay leaf, and black peppercorns.

Step 2
Pour in enough cold water to cover completely. You will probably need around 10 cups (2.8 liters).

Step 3
Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook with the lid half-on for about 1 hour, skimming off any fat that rises to the top of the pan, if necessary.
