Why You'll Love Homemade Chicken Stock
Long story short (TLDR) go make yourself some homemade rotisserie chicken stock. IngredientsIngredient Substitutions
Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Stock InstructionsThis recipe is simple but so wholesome. Start with rinsing the celery and carrots. You don't need to peel the carrots or garlic cloves. The skin will provide additional flavor to the stock. Chop off the ends or rinse the onion if it has a little dirt. The aromatics like bay leaf, black peppercorns and parsley are totally optional and add an additional layer of flavor. Place all the ingredients in your vessel of choice: Instant Pot, stock pot, or slow cooker. Instant Pot MethodMy favorite way of making chicken stock! Use the Soup/Broth function on the Instant Pot or pressure cook on high for 1 hour. Let it natural release for 15 minutes then quick release. Be careful as there will be a lot of steam. You can also let it natural release fully. The recipe card below has instructions for stovetop and slow cooker methods. Tips for Straining

2 Ingredient Rotisserie Chicken StockYou can make a basic chicken stock with just the chicken bones and water! The vegetables and aromatics are nice if you have them but are not needed. This is especially true if you're going to use the stock as a base for other soups where you'll be adding other veggies and seasonings. FAQsHow do I store rotisserie chicken stock?Let the stock completely cool then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. I store mine in recycled glass jars or in plastic quart containers for the freezer. For smaller portions, place the stock in a muffin tin or ice cube tray then transfer to a freezer safe bag. This is perfect for those recipes that call for a little bit of chicken stock. What is the difference between chicken broth and chicken stock?Although "broth" and "stock" are often used interchangeably, they are made differently, have different consistencies and use cases. Broth is made from meat and vegetables while stock is made from bones. Stock is typically thicker and slightly gelatinizes in the fridge because of the collagen in the bones. Broth is usually used in soups while stock is used for cooking. I use the terms interchangeably like most people do but am calling this recipe chicken stock because it's made with bones. Can I add chicken fat and skin to the stock?Absolutely! I highly recommend it because it adds so much flavor and color to the broth. Don't worry about the extra fat because it's easy to skim off later. How many chicken bones and how much water water should I use?You can make this recipe with up to 3x the amount of bones, the more bones the more flavor it will have. You can use more or less water depending on how light or rich you want the stock to be. If you're using an Instant Pot, make sure the water level stays below the max level.
