👨‍🍳 Method

For the homemade chicken stock ✓ Homemade · or skip – back to store-bought

  1. 1
    Put the chicken, the onion, carrot, celery, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam that rises during the first 15 minutes with a spoon.

  2. 2
    Turn down and simmer gently 2.5–3 hours.
    Stove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Strain the stock.
