This recipe makes 2 quarts.
Start with about 2 pounds of chicken parts with bones. We used a whole free range bird, and cut out pieces that we like to eat such as the breast and thighs, and used the remaining bonier pieces for the stock such as the back, wings, drumsticks and neck.
Now simply throw the meat in the crock pot with one onion, two carrots, three pieces of celery, and any inner pieces of garlic that you have kicking around. There is no need to peel the garlic, just throw it in.
Now add 2 tablespoons of vinegar. This is not common in stock, but is actually a traditional method of removing the trace elements and minerals from the bones. Fill to the top with water. You can also add seasonings if desired. Seasonings are totally optional because this is just the basic stock.
This is how it looks after 12 hours. It is going to go for 24 hours before it is ready.
Wow! I did not know it was that easy, thanks for sharing this recipe, on my to-do-list now!
