Homemade Chicken Stock - The Healthy - Unsung Hero Of Great Dishes

Many people think making stock is a lot of troubleIt isn't. And making your own is economical

Usually we just freeze chicken bones and make the stock from them, but sometimes we use a whole chicken. In the video I use a big chicken, it cost a bit over $10.00 but it provided us with 2 litres of stock (Campbell's cost $4.00 a litre) But homemade is tastier, fresher, has not additives. 

In addition to the chicken stock

We had enough chicken to make 4 dinners, and some snacks for our dog.

Give it a go. Make your own stock, use it. When you make it there are no additives, you control the salt and it just flat out taste 100 times better.
We use stock in stews, when making mexican beans, sauces. I even use it to make a quick gravy if we need it.
Use your imagination and you can come up with heaps of ideas, basically if the recipe calls for water you can use, homemade, un-salted chicken stock. Of course, you might not want to use it to make a pie, or cake. But hey! it's yours use it where you want.
