Easiest Chicken Stock

Ingredients

  • 3 liters water
  • 1.5-2 kg chicken feet back, wings, or bones

Instructions

Roasting the Bones:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • If using raw wings/backs/feet then roast on a baking sheet in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes to an hour or until they turn golden brown.

Making the Chicken Stock:

  • In a large pot, place the roasted wings/feet/backs/bones.
  • Cover with 3 liters of cold water or until they are fully submerged.
  • Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • As soon as it boils, reduce the heat to low, to a gentle simmer.
  • Let the stock simmer for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.

Straining the Stock:

  • After the cooking time is up, strain the stock.
  • First, use a colander to separate the large pieces from the liquid.
  • Then strain it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any small particles.

Storing the Chicken Stock:

  • Allow the stock to cool down as quickly as possible, avoiding leaving it at room temperature for too long.
  • Once cooled, pour the chicken stock into a container or several containers, depending on your preferred portion sizes.
  • Store the stock in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you need it to last longer, you can freeze it for several months.
