A standard crockpot is 6 quarts. I get about quarts out of my crockpot depending on the size of the chicken. Yes, a larger stockpot will have more room! This is the first chicken stock that I made instead of bought and it is so good I never bothered with any other recipe.
The difference in flavour with store bought stock even the best ones is amazing. Originally I followed the recipe exactly, but now, instead of using a whole chicken I cut the drumsticks, thighs and breasts off 2 smallish chickens and then use the carcases which still have a lot of meat on them for the stock. Hi Tony, so glad to hear this. This is my all-time favorite, too, and SO much better than anything storebought.
Love your idea for how you use the chicken. Thanks for stopping by to comment. Just excellent. I was intimidated by other broth recipes, and this one seemed more realistic. So delicious. Is it necessary? Some chicken stock recipes highly recommend it while others never mention it.

Just bring the chicken and broth to room temp and put them into freezer safe containers? By far the best recipe I have been able to find after 2 hours of reading online! This was a most wonderful broth recipe! I took my time with this because I had six frozen bags of bones, fat, leftover meat to place in a much larger stock pot.
I felt there was enough residual salt from all the birds and juices from the saved roaster contents. Simmered for about seven hours.
First straining was to get rid of all large bits and pieces. The second was where I for the first time in my life used cheesecloth with my fine mesh strainer. Golden broth! Best regards. Set on soup setting, then set time for 2 hours. Use slow release method which should add another minutes. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Will try it this week.
But what can I do with the meat part after boiling? Am into Chinese dish. How long should I freeze these cooked meat for future cooking? Appreciate all guidance and advises. Adding chicken feet makes a huge difference in the resulting broth… I can get them at Walmart, in 1ish pound packages…they are truly disgusting to look at, but the gelatin and the flavor they produce is amazing. I use 1ish lb chicken feet with a 5ish lb chicken and aromatics.
Removed the meat, left the bones and the vegetables, after about or less of 24 hours, tasted it,,,,,,YUK!!! Hi Mitchell, If you include a whole lemon including the peel and rind the broth will become very bitter. Never include a whole lemon for that reason.
Instead, squeeze the fresh lemon juice in at the end. I recently made your chicken broth recipe and loved it. However, the corners of the quart-sized bags that I used for storage, broke while in the freezer. Is this normal?
Perhaps I should have used half-gallon size bags. Where did I go wrong? Hi Suzanne, was it specifically a freezer bag? There is a difference between regular sandwich bags and freezer bags the freezer bags are thicker and air-tight, while the sandwich bags are not. Make sure the product you use is specifically meant for the freezer. Thanks for being here! I would not recommend using lemon with the rind from the beginning. The lemon oil will become bitter if you simmer it for more than 45 minutes or so.
You should specify when to use the lemon. Hi Joan, the acid in vinegar and lemon helps pull collagen out of the bones, which makes for a more nutritious broth. I am making the chicken stock removed the plastic pouch with organs but did not take any notice of the paper pouch and left it boiling with the chicken for two hours is the stock still good to use.
If the plastic was left in I would toss it, but the paper is probably not a big deal. I have never made chicken stock or broth before, but I plan to make this recipe today. I have a question: Sometimes I purchase the rotisserie chickens from the grocery store for a quick meal during the week. Can I use the carcass of the cooked rotisserie chickens in this stock recipe? If so, how long — how many days — could I safely save up the carcass before I need to cook it in a stock?
Hi Kim, this is a great question. Strain stock through cheesecloth or paper towel-lined large sieve, and discard solids. It helps to remove the big pieces of bone with a slotted spoon first. Pour into jars and cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. Stock will last a week or so in the refrigerator or frozen for several months. Did I say only 3 methods for making chicken stock? Here are a couple more! If you have access to chicken feet, they make the most fabulous gelatinous stock.
There's an entirely different method we use in our Chicken Noodle Soup recipe. Starting with a whole chicken, we remove the large pieces of breast, leg, and thigh meat we want in our resulting soup. Then we parboil the remaining chicken to force out the impurities. Then, we start over with clean water and the chicken carcass to make the stock.
This approach results in a very clean tasting and clear broth. I've seen a lot of cookbooks advocate the skimming of the fat from the stock. We prefer letting the fat settle in a layer on top of the stock as it cools. This way, the fat acts as a protective layer over the stock. Bacteria need oxygen to grow, so by allowing the fat to rise to the top of the stock and settle we create a protective barrier between the stock and the oxygen in the air above.
The stock will last a bit longer in the refrigerator if you keep the fat layer on it. Just lift up the layer of fat and remove the stock when you want to use it. Every few days, bring the stock to a simmer for 10 minutes and let it cool, again with the fat forming a protective layer.
Your stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks this way. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content.

Chicken Broth Broth is usually thinner and made from chicken meat, while chicken stock is made from simmering bones for a long time. How to Store and Freeze Chicken Broth Let the stock cool completely before refrigerating or freezing.
Save It Print. Some cooks will add other aromatic vegetables, like fennel or leeks, or a variety of herbs, from parsley to thyme and bay leaves. There's no right or wrong here; it's just a matter of preference and the flavor profile you're looking for. For this stock, I'm keeping it incredibly simple: chicken, carrot, onion, garlic, celery, and parsley.
That's it. Let's take a closer look at each of these. Stock can be made with a whole chicken, any of its parts, or a combination. In practice, it's usually made with the scraps and bones of a chicken that's already been butchered for other uses. Still, it helps to know how each part of a chicken can change the flavor of stock. To find out, I made several batches of stock, each with the exact same amounts of chicken, aromatic vegetables, and water.
The only thing I changed was the cut of chicken: boneless breast meat, boneless leg meat, wings, bones, or a whole chicken. To account for differences in pot size and evaporation rates, I measured the final stocks and added water to bring them all up to the same volume. This diluted them a little, but should have helped correct for differences in flavor intensity due to variations in water volume.
As you can see in the photo above, the color of the final stock is affected by the cut of chicken used. But this is where it gets interesting: The lightest, most washed-out-looking stock was the one made with boneless chicken breast. I expected that stock, based both on its color and on the lack of flavor in chicken breast relative to the other parts, to be the least flavorful.
But here's how each stock actually tasted:. I initially didn't believe my results, since I generally think of chicken breast as the least flavorful part of the bird. So I sent a message to Kenji to see what he thought.
Chicken breast has the cleanest flavor, though not as much body," he wrote back. Okay, then, maybe I'm not crazy after all. This is helpful, and certainly challenged some of my own assumptions, but I can't really recommend making stock from expensive cuts like chicken breasts, unless money really is not a concern.
If you are gathering scraps of chicken for stock, though, this at least shows that it's better, if at all possible, to try to get some white meat in the mix, along with bones for bass notes and wings for gelatin.
Given the issue of quality versus cost, I'd lean toward wings as the single best option for providing a good balance between rich texture, decent chicken-y flavor, and relatively low cost. But if you're the type who likes to collect chicken scraps and carcasses or can find them on sale for cheap at the market , then you'll do just fine with whatever combination of inexpensive scraps you choose to use.
If you do make a thin-yet-flavorful stock, adding a little unflavored gelatin can help boost the body. I found that one packet of unflavored gelatin, softened in a quarter cup of cold water and then mixed into one quart of stock, did a good job of enhancing body without pushing the stock into weirdly sticky, jellied territory. Another big question with stock is how to handle the aromatics.
It's common to just throw halved onions and big chunks of carrot and celery into the pot. But is that the best way? To find out, I made a new round of stocks. In one, I added the aromatics straight to the water in large pieces—halved onions and big pieces of carrot and celery. In another, I diced the aromatics and added them straight to the pot of water. The whole aromatics, meanwhile, made the stock with the least flavor, which suggests that surface area really does make a difference in terms of flavor extraction, even with the extended cooking time of a stock.
The plain boiled diced aromatics tasted the best to me and my fellow tasters, producing a stock that was both clean and flavorful. One of the things that scares home cooks away from making stock is the idea that it needs to be carefully tended to, skimmed frequently of oil and scum that float to the surface. I wanted to see whether skipping the skimming was really such a big deal, so I made two more batches of stock, both exactly the same, except one I skimmed and one I didn't.
Because skimming removes liquid, I adjusted volumes after cooking, as I had done with the above-described stocks, to make sure we were tasting approximately equal concentration ratios.
