BROWN CHICKEN STOCK

A stock so rich and savory, your soups and gravies will be amazing! It's a little work, but it's cheap and sooo worth it. I save up 'used' bones in a freezer bag in the freezer for weeks or months until I have enough to make a stock. This is also a great way to use the backs or necks from whole chickens.

Time 3h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ½ pounds chicken bones
¼ cup olive oil
2 red onions, sliced
1 stalk celery
2 carrots, diced
8 cups water, or as needed
1 head garlic, halved
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried basil
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange the chicken bones on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until well browned.
  • Heat the olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots; cook and stir until browned. If they scorch, just add a bit of water and scrape up all the bits.
  • Add the roasted chicken bones to the pot, and fill with enough water to cover the bones by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and add the garlic, thyme, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 2 hours. Add more water if needed.
  • Strain out all of the solids from the broth, drain off the fat, and refrigerate. You can also remove the fat after it has chilled. The stock will be thick. Use full strength for soups and gravies, or dilute with water for a milder flavor. I like to use freezer bags for longer storage.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Onion     Poultry     Sauté     Celery     Carrot     Spring     Simmer

Yield Makes 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Bones, wings, and scraps of 3 whole chickens, excess fat removed
3 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 onions, coarsely chopped
4 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
Stems of 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil until smoking. Add the chicken bones and scraps and brown all over, stirring to avoid burning. Remove the chicken parts and reserve. Add the carrots, onions, and celery and cook until soft and browned. Return the chicken bones to the pot and add 3 quarts of water, the tomato paste, peppercorns, and parsley, stirring to dislodge the browned chicken and vegetable bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring almost to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook at a low simmer for 2 hours, until reduced by half, occasionally skimming excess fat. After cooking, remove from heat and strain out all solids, pressing them with the bottom of a ladle to extract all liquids. This can be frozen for up to 1 month.

Time 5h

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs chicken bones
10 cups water (or enough to cover the chicken by 2 inches)
1 large onion, cut into 1 inch chunks
2 carrots, cut into 1 inch chunks
2 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 bay leaf
10 peppercorns
1 bunch parsley stems

Steps:

  • Rinse the bones twice in cold water to remove the blood.
  • Preheat the oven to 450º F.
  • Place the rinsed bones in a roasting pan and roast, stirring occasionally, until well browned all over.
  • Transfer to the stockpot and simmer the bones in water to cover for 30 minutes.
  • During this time, skim carefully.
  • Meanwhile, put the vegetables in the same roasting pan and roast until brown all over, then add to the soup pot.
  • Put the hot roasting pan over medium heat and add ½ cup dry white wine or water.
  • Stir and scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan and pour into the stock.
  • Add bay leaf, peppercorns and parsley stems.
  • Continue to simmer very slowly, uncovered, for 4 hours.
  • Cool, strain, then refrigerate overnight, and scrape off the fat.
  • If I want a concentrated stock, I boil the stock until it is half its volume.
  • Refrigerate or freeze until needed.
  • note: Rinsing the bones and then skimming during the first 30 minutes yields dividends in clarity and refinement of flavor.
  • You can dispense with the rinsing and skimming, however.
  • Just put all the ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil, and follow the recipe from there.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds chicken backs and necks, excess fat trimmed, and rinsed
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup chopped leeks, white and light green parts only, rinsed well
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 head garlic, halved horizontally, excess papery skin removed
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped carrots
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 dried bay leaves
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place chicken parts in a large stockpot. Pour enough cold water over chicken to cover by 2 inches. Place pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook chicken for 5 minutes, skimming off any impurities and foam from the surface. Drain chicken, rinse, and transfer to a roasting pan.
  • Drizzle oil over chicken and toss to combine. Transfer to oven and roast chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Add leeks, onions, carrots, and celery to roasting pan and toss to coat with oil. Return to oven and roast mixture until vegetables are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add tomato paste and toss to coat chicken and vegetables.
  • Transfer contents of roasting pan to a large clean stockpot and cover with enough water to cover chicken mixture by 4 inches (about 6 1/2 quarts of water). Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 90 minutes, frequently skimming off any impurities from the surface. Add bay leaves, thyme, and peppercorns, and continue cooking and skimming surface for 30 minutes more. If cooking liquid starts to evaporate below the level of the solids, add enough water to cover.
  • Remove stockpot from heat and let stand until all solids sink to the bottom of pot, about 15 minutes. Ladle stock through a fine mesh sieve set over a large airtight container; discard solids. Let stock cool and use right away or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

BROWN CHICKEN STOCK



Brown Chicken Stock image

Provided by Food Network

Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 pounds meat and bones (backs, necks, wings are best) of chicken, chopped into 2- to 3-inch pieces
2 teaspoons salt
2 carrots, scraped
2 onions, peeled
2 celery stalks
2 leeks, washed
4 stems thyme
1 bay leaf
6 parsley sprigs
2 unpeeled garlic cloves
5 peppercorns

Steps:

  • Brown meat, bones and vegetables either in batches in a heated stockpot, oil added. Or place all meat, bones and vegetables on baking sheet and brown in oven and then add to stockpot. When browned, add cold water to cover them by 2 inches, Bring to a simmer at medium heat. As the liquid starts to simmer, scum will rise. Remove it with a ladle for about 20 minutes until it stops to accumulate. Add the bouquet garni and add more water if necessary -- water should cover all ingredients by 1 inch. When liquid is simmering again, skim as necessary. Keep at a simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Skim fat and scum occasionally. Boiling water should be added if the liquid evaporates below the level of all ingredients. Never allow the liquid to boil to avoid fat and scum incorporating themselves into the liquid and making it cloudy. Cooking may be stopped at any time and continued later. Never cover the pot totally before contents have completely cooled -- otherwise the stock will turn sour. After 4 to 5 hours of cooking, strain the stock out of the stockpot into a bowl. Press on the vegetables, to squeeze out all the liquid. Discard the vegetables. Let stock settle for 5 minutes. Remove fat from its surface with a ladle, then draw paper towels over the surface of the stock to blot up last traces of fat. Or put the stock into the refrigerator, uncovered, until fat on top has hardened and can be scraped off. Taste the degreased stock for taste. Boil it down to evaporate some of its water content and to concentrate its strength. Chill in ice-bath. Cover and refrigerate it, or bottle and freeze it. Stock kept in the refrigerator must be brought to the boil every 3 or 4 days to keep it from spoiling.;
  • Into a cheesecloth tie: .

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bones. For a richer flavor, use a combination of chicken backs, necks, and wings. You can also add a few chicken feet for extra collagen.
  • Roast the bones before simmering. Roasting the bones in a hot oven for 30 minutes to an hour will help to develop a deeper flavor.
  • Use a large pot. You want to have enough room for the bones to swim freely in the water. A 12-quart pot is a good size.
  • Add vegetables to the pot. Vegetables will help to add flavor and nutrients to the stock. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and leeks.
  • Season the stock well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings to taste. Bay leaves, thyme, and parsley are all good options.
  • Simmer the stock for at least 4 hours. The longer you simmer the stock, the more flavor it will have. You can simmer it for up to 24 hours, but 4-8 hours is typically sufficient.
  • Strain the stock. Once the stock has finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander to remove the bones and vegetables.
  • Cool and store the stock. Let the stock cool completely before storing it in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer.

Conclusion:

Brown chicken stock is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used to make a variety of soups, stews, and sauces. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken bones. By following these tips, you can make a delicious brown chicken stock that will add flavor and depth to your favorite dishes.
