Roasted Chicken Broth Recipe 435

RICH CHICKEN STOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine chicken bones, onions, celery, and carrots in a large roasting pan; toss with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast until the bones and vegetables are a rich golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot, add 12 cups cold water, and the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 4 hours, skimming the scum that rises to the top with a ladle every 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a mesh strainer into a clean pot. Place back on the stove over high heat and cook until reduced by half. Use immediately or let cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

ROASTED CHICKEN STOCK

Steps:

• To make this stock in an Instant Pot: Add the chicken carcass to a 3- or 6-quart Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. Chop the onion into eighths, and slice the garlic head in half crosswise to expose the cloves; dump the alliums into the pot over the chicken. Crush the bay leaves and add, along with the salt, black peppercorns, and turmeric. Add enough cold water to reach the max line in the 3-quart or to cover the bones in the 6-quart (5 to 6 cups). Gently stir and cover with the lid. Pressure-cook on high for 1 hour and let the pressure release naturally.
• To make this stock on the stove: Follow Step 1, but place all of the ingredients, including the water, into a large heavy-bottomed pot, such as a Dutch oven or stock pot, and gently stir. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the stock is deeply golden, the chicken bones are falling apart at the joints when you try to pick them up and the vegetables have turned to mush, about 3 hours.
• Strain the contents of the pot through a colander set over a large bowl; press the bones to get out all of the liquid. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt as desired. Ladle the stock into large mugs for sipping, or use as an ingredient in your cooking. Alternatively, you can let the strained stock cool slightly before transferring into quart containers and storing in the refrigerator.
• This chicken stock will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Heat individual portions in coffee mugs to drink in the morning for breakfast, or use as a base for soups, stews and porridges throughout the week.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND BROTH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, arrange roasted chicken and vegetable ingredients. Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until chicken is medium to deep golden brown and pan juices are deep golden brown.
• When cool enough to handle, remove chicken from carcass, reserving carcass, skin, pan juices and any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces; cover and refrigerate. Discard, carrots, celery and onion from pan.
• In 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven or stockpot, place chicken bones, skin, all pan juices and any browned bits. Add broth ingredients; heat to boiling. Skim foam from broth; reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 30 minutes to develop flavors.
• Carefully remove bones and skin from broth. Strain broth through fine-mesh strainer; discard strainer contents. Skim fat from broth. Use broth and chicken immediately, or cover and refrigerate broth and chicken in separate containers up to 24 hours or freeze up to 6 months.
