KITTENCAL'S BEST CHICKEN STOCK/BROTH (CROCK POT OPTION)



Kittencal's Best Chicken Stock/Broth (Crock Pot Option) image

Plan ahead this method takes 2 days to create the best most richest flavorful stock, far better and cheaper than any canned broth, once you try this you will never purchase cans of broth again! --- this can be done either on a stove top or in a crock pot but start the stock firstly on the stove top then transfer to a crock pot --- the same method may be used for turkey stock use the carcass and leftover legs, thigh and wing bones from your roasted turkey in place of the chicken pieces, also save your carcass and bones from roasted chickens and freeze them to throw in the pot, roasted bones will produce a richer golden colored stock but uncooked chicken works just as well --- I freeze the cooled cooked broth in 2 or 4-cup plastic freezer containers and store in the freezer until ready to use, you may do a quick defrost in the microwave when needed --- yield depends on size of pot and how much water is used, use this broth to make the best tasting chicken soup, don't remove the skins from onions they add color and taste to the stock adding in another onion won't hurt :)

Time P1DT4h

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lbs uncooked chicken pieces (bone and skin on, or use 1 large chicken carcass along with chicken pieces)
2 large onions, do not peel the skin off, and cut in large pieces
2 large unpeeled carrots, washed
2 large celery ribs, cut in half
10 -12 peppercorns
1 head garlic, broken into cloves (can leave the skin on)
2 tablespoons salt (or to taste)
cold water, to cover all ingredients

Steps:

  • Place the chicken pieces and/or carcass (or the turkey carcass) in an extra large stock pot, along with all remaining ingredients.
  • Fill with cold water to cover ingredients, and up to almost three quarters of the stock pot.
  • Place on stove element; cover and bring to a full boil.
  • Reduce heat; simmer and remove any fat or scum that is floating on top of the water.
  • At this point you can transfer to a crockpot.
  • Simmer covered with a lid on low heat for about 4-5 hours for stove top (or 9-12 hours on LOW setting for a crockpot).
  • Adjust salt to suit taste.
  • After the 5-6 hours of simmering time turn off heat and allow the pot to sit until room temperature with all ingredients still in the pot, DO NOT REMOVE BONES OR VEGGIES.
  • Transfer the pot to the fridge (with all ingredients still in it) and chill overnight.
  • THE FOLLOWING DAY: Remove the pot from the fridge (mixture will be a jelly consistency).
  • Remove any fat that has gathered on top.
  • Heat again until just to a liquid (this will make it easier to strain).
  • Remove all chicken pieces and strain in a large strainer, if desired you may strain again in a cheesecloth, but it is not necessary.
  • Let cool completely and freeze in containers.

THE BEST CHICKEN STOCK



The Best Chicken Stock image

Yes, it's easy to grab a box of broth at the grocery store but making this homemade chicken stock is definitely worth it. Our version is clean-tasting and neutral so you can use it in all types of cuisines. We left out the salt, so you can adjust the level to suit your recipe or taste. Instead of using a whole chicken, we call for bones because they add body to the finished stock. Save chicken bones in the freezer until you have enough to make a batch or order them from your butcher.
