Simple Homemade Chicken Broth Recipe
This simple chicken stock recipe adds so much flavor to from scratch cooking.
Equipment
- Large stock pot
- Strainer
- quart or half gallon jars to cool strained broth.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken carcass
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 carrot
- 1-2 tsp kosher salt
- 4 black peppercorns
- 1 tsp thyme, dried
- 1 tsp rosemary, dried
- 1-2 gal water
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into the stock pot and cover with water.
- Simmer over medium-low heat for 4-30 hours. I prefer to cook it longer to release more flavor from the bones. If you choose to cook for a longer time, you will have to watch it and replenish the water as needed.
- Strain the broth and ladle into clean glass jars. Allow to cool and skim fat from the top. If not used immediately, refrigerate up to a week or freeze up to 6 months.
