10 sprigs thyme

5 black peppercorns

3 bay leaves

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the chicken pieces on a sheet tray fitted with a rack and roast until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Put the chicken pieces in a large pot with the carrots, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaves, leeks, onions, apple and 1 gallon water. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 2 to 3 hours (do not let it come to a boil or the stock will become cloudy).
Ladle the stock from the top of the pot into a strainer set over a large bowl. Place in an ice bath to cool quickly. Transfer the cooled stock to resealable containers. The stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 6 months.
