Ingredients

4 pounds chicken bones, chopped
3 large Spanish onions, quartered (skin left on)
1/2 head celery, coarsely chopped
2 large carrots, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup whole peppercorns
Small bunch flat-leaf parsley, stems only
6 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

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.

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The best chicken stock ever. I got lucky at the store as the celery and carrots were on sale. I noticed a 2 1/2 pound package... of chicken backs reduced down to 58 cents and grabbed them. I only paid about $3 for the raw ingredients, including the chicken. That's much cheaper than store bought stock, and much more tasty as well. I froze the stock in ice cube trays for future use in chicken stroganoff, and for cooking rice, and of course chicken soup.Read more

I first tried it last year with the thanksgiving turkey carcass and was so pleased with the results that I now make this... every time I have enough chicken or turkey bones! This may be the first stock I have found that makes for a hearty homemade chicken noodle soup! Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is wonderful but, like all other soups I make, after I get it all together I simply put it in the refrigerator until the... fat congeals and then just lift it off the stock and use it for other things instead of ladeling it out.Read more
