I love roasted chicken and it is so cheap! DH usually puts ours in a brine for the day and it comes out so tender. Here is a simple recipe to make some stock with the leftover.

Cut most of the meat off a roasting or rotisserie chicken. Put the carcass in a pot with your choice of veggies (celery,carrots,onion). Cover with cool water, bring to a boil, and reduce to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 90 minutes or until there is about 1 qt water left. Let cool, strain, and it's ready to use! You can freeze it in small portions to use for later recipes.

Ooops yeah, rereading that it was a little confusing. I meant to say remove most of the meat and then use the leftover carcass (for lack of a better word) to put in the pot. Thanks : )

Ah ok!

I've been using the recipe from Nourishing Traditions the last couple years. I add a bit of vinegar because it extracts the calcium from the bones. You can also cook it and then crack up the bones and cook it again to get more calcium and marrow. I cook it for about 8 hours or overnight.

I'm actually making some stock tomorrow since we had a roaster tonight for dinner. I'll add some vinegar, thanks for the tip!
