Chicken Stock Recipe - TheRecipe.Website

Chicken Stock is one of those simple recipes that add so much to other dishes. Chicken stock is the basis of soups, bisques, curries, stews and basically everything else. As with all stocks, they are easy to produce but take time. The benefit of doing your own is that you know what went into the dish. In our recipe, we have used chicken legs chopped up but you can also use chicken carcass as the base with carrots, celery etc. Check out our Kosher Stock or for more of a kick our Vietnamese Style Stock. Safe to freeze.
