Chicken Stock

I make homemade Chicken Stock on a regular basis. It is a cost effective way to ensure you are getting good stock. I know you can buy it. I buy it all the time too because I run out. I use Chicken stock all the time and I don't think I can ever have enough. I love to cook my rice in it, it adds so much extra flavor. I recently started boiling my potatoes in it and it added so much flavor. I love buying a whole fryer chicken. Because I get a meal, plus I get a bunch of Chicken broth that I make with the carcass of the chicken. Here is how I make mine:

1 chicken carcass

8 cups water

1 large onion cut into 4 sections

4 stalks celery cut in half

4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces

1 bay leaf

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Place all ingredients  in a large pot over high heat. 

Bring to a boil, Cover then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 3 hours.

Strain and cool the stock, uncovered. Pour into an airtight container or jar and keep refrigerated until use.
