Sometimes, instead of purchasing specific chicken parts like breasts or thighs, I like to just buy a whole chicken and section it up myself. This usually works out to be a bit cheaper, and you get the added bonus of the chicken carcass!
So what do you do with a chicken carcass? Make some delicious chicken stock, I say.
1. Place chicken carcass into a roasting pan and roast it until it's done. (ie. Smells and looks good.)
2. Place the roasted chicken in your crock pot along with some chopped up onions, carrots, celery and anything else you might want. (I like mushrooms and herbs like thyme and rosemary.)
3. Cover the whole thing with water and set our crock pot to medium - high.
4. Let the stock cook for at least three hours... but I like to let it go all night. (Just remember to turn down your crock pot to a low setting if you do.)
5. Strain out all the bits when it's done, season with salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy your home made stock!
