I put mine in this 5.5 quart Le Creuset cast iron enamel pot. Then load it up with veggies. I like to use carrots, onions, and celery and since I grow my own herbs I put in a handful of fresh parsley. I also add in 2 chicken bouillon cubes (it adds additional chicken flavor) and some black pepper.Then, pour in 10 cups of water.Next up, bring your carcass and veggies to a boil. Then reduce to medium heat and simmer with lid on for 50 minutes. I remove the pot off the stove and let it cool to room temperature.I begin to sift through and gather all the vegetables and dark meat from the carcass. I place that in a separate container that I’ll use during the week for another pot of soup. See I told you I’m being ultra thrifty here. Then I place a mesh colander inside a very large bowl and begin to pour the broth into the bowl. The colander will catch all the bones and anything you don’t want in the soup.Pour chicken stock into freezer safe containers to use within a few days or freeze to use at a later date.

Thank you!ReplyI have always discarded the chicken carcass but will never throw it away again. We made a batch of chicken noodle soup with this homemade stock and it was delicious . I can hardly wait to make some chicken dressing with this stock and rotisserie chicken.ReplySuper easy recipe for beginners to follow with great instructions and tips &amp; tricks! I will definitely be referencing this in the future for chicken stock from a rotisserie chicken!!ReplyThank you for sharing this great idea. I began adding chicken bouillon to my rice and pasta for a few years to give them more flavor, but hadn’t thought about making my own chicken stock. Thank you for this wise and flavorful money saving tip.ReplyEasy and SO yummy!ReplyDo you have a recipe of the soup(s) you make with the veggies and chicken leftover from the stock?ReplyThis is my jam. &nbsp;I don’t use the bullion. Too much sodium. Instead, I put two cups of hot water into the plastic pan the chicken comes in and &nbsp;let the gelitan and whatever fat is in there dissolve. Then add to my stock pot. &nbsp;Give that a try, you can always throw the bullion cube in later, I bet you’ll only need one.ReplyI do this every time we have a rotisserie chicken in the house. I like to think of it as repurposing the chicken!ReplyVery smart idea! Love it!Replyoooooooooooooooooh delish and OH SO simple!!ReplyI would never think of that!

This is a great idea especially with soup season right around the corner!ReplyHomemade stock is SO much better than store-bought! Another good tip that my husband and I use is to keep all of your vegetable “trash” – carrot peels, onion skins and ends, celery cast-offs. Instead of throwing them out while cooking, save them in the freezer and then dump them into your stock pot. It TRULY stretches the money spent on those vegetables and uses up ‘waste’ beautifully.ReplyI'm Katie Jasiewicz: home cook, food blogger, and recipe developer.
