Make It Now Cooking Directions

Stove Cook

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

  1. Place chicken carcass {or chicken pieces, or whole chicken} in a large stock pot. Cover with water and lemon juice.
  2. Add celery, onion, carrots, and garlic to the pot.
  3. Bring just to a boil and then reduce heat to low.
  4. Simmer covered on low heat for 8-12 hours. Low, slow heat is key. If you boil your bones, you will get a cloudy stock.
  5. Skim off any scum that rises to the top.
  6. When stock is finished, strain out bones and vegetables and discard. {If you were using a whole chicken, be sure to remove so that you can pull off all of the meat when it is cooled.} Add salt and pepper.
  7. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth to strain out any small pieces if necessary.
