Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of chicken bones
  • 3 carrots quartered
  • 3 celery stalks quartered
  • 2 onions quartered
  • 1 head of garlic cut in half
  • 20 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • 12 cups water

Instructions

  1. Place the carrots, celery, onions, garlic and herbs in a 14-16 quart stockpot.
  2. If the chicken is raw, roast it in the oven at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, just to brown it and develop some flavor. If it's cooked, you can skip this step.
  3. Add the chicken into the stockpot and cover with 12 cups of water.
  4. Bring the stock to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer . Cook for 2 hours. Strain the mixture, then pour it into containers. Use within 3 days, or freeze for long term storage (up to 3 months).
