Chicken Stock (from Cooking Light) image

This is my favorite recipe for stock. Different in that it uses a whole chicken which is cooked until done, then removed, and bones are then returned to pot for stock. Kills two birds with one stone, getting about 4 cups of tender chicken to use in your favorite recipe and about 6 cups stock which can be used immediately or frozen. Note the stock is refrigerated overnight to thoroughly remove fat.
