Yield - 1 Gallon

Ingredients-

5 lb.Chicken Bones

4 oz. Carrots, Rough Cut

4 oz. Celery, Rough Cut

8 oz. Onion, Rough Cut

1.5 Gallons Water

1 pc. Bay Leaf

6 pc. Peppercorns

Method -

Place the bones in a stockpot and add water (bones should be covered in water)

Using high heat, bring to a boil, add remaining ingredients and reduce heat to simmer the stock. Using a ladel, skim the fat and impurities off the surface of the stock (repeat several times). Stock should simmer for 1-3 hours until it has flavor and color. The stock can be fortified with chicken base (or bullion cubes) to obtain a richer flavor. After simmering, taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.

To strain a stock, most Chefs use a chinoise, it makes stocks & sauces perfectly smooth and more refined. Strain off the stock into another container, use the stock immediately or place in a cold water bath to cool as quickly as possible.

Chefs Note: This stock can be used for many different soups and sauces, it can also be stored for several days in the refrigerator or frozen in bags for several months.
