Hyssop is also great addition to the stocks, flavor and aroma are similar to celery, and it has health benefits

[@deaconmikepray9793]

I make large batches (for a home cook) of stock several times a year. Usually it contains onions (quartered with skins on), rough chopped carrots (unpeeled), and celery (rough chopped). I will often add chicken base for a little more flavor. Along with herbs de provence, bay leaves, and peppercorns, I will add whole chicken(s) and chicken thighs. If I have any chicken backs I will add those also (my son likes to make spatchcock chicken and saves them for me). After covering with water, it is brought to a simmer and skimmed occasionally to remove the floating proteins. When the chicken parts reach temp, I remove, cool, then de-bone. The bones are added back to the stock and simmered for a couple of hours. I would also add parmigiano reggiano rind for some added flavor. The chicken meat is reserved for the soup later on. Once the cartilage on the ends of the bones has mostly dissolved, the stock is strained through cheese cloth in a fine mesh strainer. This helps to mostly de- fat the stock. I started using this method when I was running a volunteer kitchen for a charity. I would make 5-6 gallons of chicken soup each week and this worked for me. the feedback was very positive. After seeing this, I am going to try rinsing my chicken parts before making stock to see what this does for the flavor. My family loves this stock for chicken soup or whatever. Thank you for the tips here. They will definitely hep define my method and make it tastier!

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Making chicken stock at home is very easy, but most of us don’t do it a lot. Why? Cos we use a shitload of stock pots (cacitos de caldo), stock cubes (pastillas de caldo), etc., even some top chefs are sponsoring these kinds of products on the television or social media. It’s super convenient, tastes good and are affordable, and hell, I’m one of these people who do these.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

That's why they make them for convenience, just like the store bought sauces and premade pizzas etc. Also, most stock cubes cation MSG which greatly enhances the flavor, that's why a lot of chefs use them.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@ChefJamesMakinson This is true. Most stock cubes here in the UK don’t have MSG, but I buy them with MSG from a different country cos MSG is the king of flavour according to uncle Roger.

Thank you, Chef, for your videos. It gives us home cooks the confidence to bring our dishes to the next level. Could you make this stock in a crock pot, on high for six hours or so? Usually low is eight hours, high is four hours, for your average, say, brisket.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Not a problem! Yes, you can use a crock pot.

[@yuvra649]

I tried this recipe, the bayleaf star anise combo in stock is absolutely amazing! I previously used toasted fennel seeds and coriander seeds, something seemed off in it always, the anise and bay leaf actually gives a better fragrant flavor not too much in your face flavor like i had before. Also chicken's getting expensive so I use the no flavor 5$ rotisserie chicken from a famous store. This stock you suggested pairs so well with soo many winter soups. Thanks?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I'm so glad to hear that you liked it! :) it does add a lot of flavor to soups!

[@desiderata2209]

You are killing the chicken flavor by using both fennel and coriander as aromatics--these are very strong spices that may not go well together. The purpose of a stock is to be vaguely neutral, so you can use it in different dishes and adjust aromatics as needed.

[@kyjanek]

I am going to try adding garlic and celery to my next broth ! In Poland we use celeriac instead of celery and lovage instead of thyme. Just sharing in case anyone wants to experiment a bit. There is also a big debate if you should put onions or not (my wife believes so and her Mother in law doesnt) so gets a bit political :)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Stock is made from bones, while broth is made mostly from meat or vegetables.

Chef James, whenever I make stock like this I always seem to end up with a lot of frothy scum. I try to skim it all off, but there always seems to be some unpleasantness still left at the end. Would you suggest straining it through a finer mesh? Or perhaps blanching the chicken carass and then replacing with clean water like Asian broths? Or some other step that I am missing... Thanks!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

A few things as I make this almost every week. Make sure the pot does not have any leftover soap in it, as this can easily happen. Also make sure that the carcass does not have any leftover kidneys or bits inside as this will affect the flavour and no blood. Meaning that you may have to rinse it under cold water. Next bring the stock up to a boil for only a few minutes then put it on a simmer. During the next 1 to 3 hours check the stock and skim off any froth that appears. If this keeps happening then blanch the carcass and see.

[@thejunglekitchen]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply! I think I might be a bit of a lazy chicken rinse-r (haha), so I'll give it a go again and be more careful. I buy the chicken from my neighbor, so it's usually only stopped clucking an hour ago when I get it- probably need to be extra diligent in this case. Thanks again!

Is there a way to save the meat from the carcass, for instance to add it to a chicken liver pate or something? Never tried just asking - or is the meat overcooked at that point...

James, James, James....can you please explain why you cut ("excess") fat off the chicken but then use olive oil to saute veg before the meat is added? Fat is fat. Fyi, star anise is similar in taste to licorice but is not what licorice is made of--that's an entirely different plant. I also recommend cloves (used in small quantities) rather than star anise. (Sorry, as well, but your stock is so turbid, you should probably remake it).

[@vilkoskorlich259]

No. Washing raw chicken or turkey is risky because it can spread bacteria onto your hands and other surfaces. Worse still, it could spread germs to other food in the vicinity. Washing poultry is also totally unnecessary, as proper cooking will kill any bacteria on it anyway.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

That's what bleach is for to clean. You have to wash the excess blood out before making stock. I'm just sharing what I learned from years of experience in established places. You can do whatever you want.

[@vilkoskorlich259]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Poultry We get it: Raw chicken is slimy when it comes out of the package, and you want to wash it off. But according to the USDA, it’s safer to destroy bacteria when you cook it. A recent study looked at people who washed raw poultry for a meal. Sixty percent had bacteria in their sink afterward, and 26% had transferred bacteria to their salad lettuce . Fish Fish is in the same category as poultry and red meat: If you wash it, you will spread bacteria around your kitchen. Cook it off instead. The only exceptions to this rule are clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops that you get fresh. They may need a rinse to get rid of sand and dirt.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

@@vilkoskorlich259 Firstly, I was sharing a tip on making stock, not talking about the slime from packaging. The excess blood can add a undesirable flavor to the stock, it need to be removed as do leftover organs. Secondly, you can spread bacteria from chicken or any meat when handling it, that includes preparation. The cutting board, the knife will all be contaminated, when you place them in the sink. It will be contaminated, so unless you don’t let anything touch the meat you will contaminate your kitchen. This is why you have to sanitize everything after use. Now if anyone is so concerned with salmonella and E. Coli then the contamination of vegetables must also be discussed. Just recently onions were recalled from the CDC. www.cdc.gov/salmonella/oranienburg-09-21/index.html Other veggies have also had contamination’s, spinach, broccoli, etc. so I still don’t understand why if I know I have to clean the chicken why it is a problem, when handling it. When these vegetables you can’t tell and can easily get food poisoning, some like lettuce we eat raw we don’t even cook. We don’t follow the USDA, the FDA or the CDC in Europe, and even when I was in the US working not everyone follows the rules 100%. For this reason I don’t eat out that much as I can’t be sure things have been prepared correctly, and there are many things cooks or chefs can do that you will not notice. Now, as I said, we don’t follow the USDA, and Eggs here are sold Unsanitized some still with feces on them yet you do not hear of food poisoning. The chickens are vaccinated though. If anyone really knew how much of the food is contaminated not just with viruses but also chemicals. People would not eat half of what they normally eat. Including what a Health inspector in Washington state told me many years ago. Why he stopped eating four, not for the gluten. But for the amount of feces that are collected and milled with the flour from harvest to milling.

Your stock is murky as hell. Because frying vegetables was a mistake, not salting (i.e. osmotically pulling blood, the number one cause of murkiness, out of the meat) and not skimming off scum were mistakes.
