Rich Roasted Chicken Stock Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken in cold water.
• Cut the chicken into small pieces at the joints and if you have a strong cleaver, in the middle of thigh and leg bones to release the marrow.
• Toss the chicken pieces in the olive oil with the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Roast until everything is a rich golden brown, 30-40 minutes.
• Transfer the bones and veggies to a tall stockpot, cover with cold water, add the rest of the ingredients.
• Cover, and bring to a boil over full heat.
• Reduce heat, simmer, removing excess fat or scum that floats to the top.
• Depending on how rich you want the stock and how much time you have, simmer for 4 to 18 hours, skimming when necessary. You can add water as it reduces to extract more goodness from the chicken and veggies.
• Do not allow it to boil, or the stock will be cloudy.
• Remove from heat, cool at room temperature.
• Strain through cheesecloth into a large bowl or other pot.
• Refrigerate until the fat rises to the top and the stock congeals. Remove the fat from the top.
• Heat again until it liquefies, transfer to freezer containers. Ice cube trays work great to save stock to add stock in small quantities to gravies and the like. Keeps in freezer for 3-6 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine chicken bones, onions, celery, and carrots in a large roasting pan; toss with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast until the bones and vegetables are a rich golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot, add 12 cups cold water, and the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 4 hours, skimming the scum that rises to the top with a ladle every 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a mesh strainer into a clean pot. Place back on the stove over high heat and cook until reduced by half. Use immediately or let cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place chicken, onion, and celery in a Dutch oven. Sprinkle salt over the top of the chicken.
• Roast chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink inside, the skin is browned, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Transfer chicken to a plate until cool enough to handle. Once cool, pick the meat from the bones; set aside chicken breast meat in a bowl for another purpose. Cover bowl of breast meat with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Discard chicken skin.
• Remove chicken fat from Dutch oven, leaving the brown flavor bits in the bottom of the Dutch oven. (See note for reserving drippings if desired.)
• Place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Return chicken bones and dark meat from drumsticks and thighs to the pot. Add garlic cloves, ketchup and cold water. Bring to a boil, and use a spoon to scrape up and dissolve the brown flavor bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours, adding more water if needed to retain same level.
• As broth simmers, occasionally skim off and discard any foam that rises to the surface.
• Remove and discard bones, meat and vegetables. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve to serve or use in recipes.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken quarters and necks under cold water and place in an 11-quart stockpot. Cut onions, carrots, and celery in half and add to pot along with bay leaves, peppercorns, and dill sprigs. Add enough cold water to cover, about 4 1/2 quarts.
• Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface, about 4 hours.
• Remove pot from heat and strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, discarding solids. Let broth cool to room temperature and refrigerate overnight. Remove any solidified fat from the surface (and save for cooking, if desired). Broth can be kept refrigerated for 2 days or frozen.
