'''Chicken Stock'''
 
 
 
Yield: About 1 1/4 gallons
 
 
 
===Ingredients===
 
* 4 [[Cookbook:Pound|lb.]] (2 [[Cookbook:Kilogram|kg]]) chicken carcasses
 
* 4 [[Cookbook:Ounce|oz.]] (125 [[Cookbook:Gram|g]]) onions, medium [[Cookbook:Dice|dice]]
 
* 2 oz. (60 g) carrots, medium dice
 
* 2 oz. (60 g) celery with leaves, medium dice
 
* 2 oz.  (60 g) parsnips, medium dice (optional)
 
* 2 oz.  (60 g) leeks, medium dice (optional)
 
Bouquet garni:
 
* 8 sprigs fresh or ¼ tsp. dried thyme
 
* 8 sprigs parley with stems
 
*1 bay leaf
 
*10 black peppercorns
 
*2 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled, crushed
 
*6 sprigs dill, (optional)
 
*½ tsp. whole coriander, (optional)
 
*½ tsp. fennel seeds, (optional)
 
* 2 gallons water
 
 
 
===Preparation===
 
#Place the chicken bones in the stockpot.
 
#Place over moderate heat.
 
#As the water comes to a boil lower the heat to a simmer.
 
#Scum will begin to rise.  As it does so skim it off with a perforated spoon.
 
#At this point, there are two options:
 
##Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 2 hours or more, as your taste determines.
 
##Simmer the stock for 4 to 5 hours or more. One hour before the end of the cooking time, add the rest of the ingredients. (This latter method will leave a more pronounced flavour of herbs, spices and vegetables while extracting the most out of the chicken.)
 
#Strain, cool rapidly by placing pot in an ice-filled cooler, and refrigerate or freeze in suitably sized portions.
 
===Notes===
 
*If stock is refrigerated, it must be heated to boiling point for two minutes before every use and every 3 or 4 days or it will sour.
