How To Make Chicken Stock

Olive
I have never made a chicken stock ever before. I usually just replace it with water when a recipe calls for it or use a boullion instead, but I seldom use that one too because of its MSG content.

Instructions
 

  • Heat about a tablespoon of Olive Oil in a stock pot.
  • Brown chicken backs on both sides.
  • Season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and ground black pepper.
  • Add onions, carrots and celery and chicken scraps.
  • Saute for about a minute.
  • With the heat on high, pour in about 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil.
  • Skim any foam or scum that floats on top.
  • Then lower the heat and let simmer gently for 4-5 hours or more.
  • The longer you simmer it, the more dense and flavorfull it will be.
  • Cool to room temperature before straining.
  • Transfer stock into freezer safe containers.
  • Discard the solid part.
