Chicken Stock
22nd November, 2009 - Posted by Emily - Comments
Rotisserie chickens from the grocery store are a great standby meal for those nights you don’t have time to cook dinner. STOP! Don’t throw the leftovers away! Make your own chicken stock. This was my first time doing this and it was super easy!
First, throw the bones and leftover meat into a pot. Add whatever vegetables and herbs you have in your refrigerator (I used carrots, celery, onion, rosemary, and thyme).
Cover with water. Add some salt and pepper.
Cover and simmer over medium low heat for a few hours, until your house smells like Thanksgiving.
Strain the stock into containers for future use. As you can see in the picture below, you will need to skim the fat off the top. Use the homemade stock instead of the grocery store version!
