Chicken Stock

Chicken Stock

Got leftover chicken bones from a Rotisserie or whole Chicken? Don’t toss them out! You can make some amazing chicken stock with them that you can freeze and use throughout the year in so many different dishes! It’s easy to make and will add so much deep flavor to any dishes you use it in, like soups, casseroles, pasta and much more! I personally love to use this in my Chicken Noodle Soup. Find that recipe here.

1 whole chicken’s bones and any leftover bits you don’t intend on eating, like skin and wings.
