Cut: Whole Chicken
Course: Soups/Stews
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken carcass
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • 1 head garlic halved
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • Leek greens if available
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  • Place the chicken carcass, onion, garlic, celery, and leeks (if using) into a large pot, and cover with water.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 hours, skimming off any fat debris that rises to the surface. Remove from the heat and strain the broth. Season, if desired, and cool completely.
  • Skim the stock after chilling. Removing excess fat is easier once the stock is chilled since it rises to the top.
  • Storage: Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to a week or freeze for future use.
