Easy Chicken Stock is SO EASY to make.  Once you start making your own easy chicken stock, you will wonder why in the world you ever wanted to pay so much money for premade stock.  The taste is so much better too! Easy Chicken Stock @loavesanddishes.net 3

For this easy chicken stock, you will need 4 lbs of chicken.  This can be chicken you would normally eat (breasts, legs, thighs, etc.), or it can be chicken you wouldn’t normally cook with (which is what I use).  I keep a zippered freezer bag in the freezer in my kitchen.  When I come upon a chicken piece that I am not going to use (wing tips, backs, the little bag of goodies from a whole hen, skin, etc.), I just put the pieces in that bag.  Once I have 4 lbs, then I know I have enough for a big pot of stock.

Please note that you can cut this recipe in half if you do not plan to preserve your stock by freezing or canning – because honestly – fresh chicken stock doesn’t last long in the fridge.  However, if you are going to the trouble of making stock – I would recommend preserving some too. If you are planning to preserve your stock, please proceed to my blog post about Preserving Chicken Stock! (thanks!). Easy Chicken Stock @loavesanddishes.net 2
