  2. Cook at 180 degrees for 3 hours.
  3. Strain liquid and leave the bones in the pan.
  4. Cool, cover and refrigerate or freeze.This liquid is stock and may gel.
Second Cook
  1. Again, cover the bones with 1 quart cold water.
  2. Cook at 180 degrees for 8 hours.
  3. Strain the liquid and leave the bones in the pan.
  4. Cool, cover and refrigerate – don’t freeze yet. This liquid is called bone stock.
Last Cook
  1. Cover the bones with the last quart of cold water.
  2. Cook overnight (about 10-12 hours) at 180 degrees.
  3. Strain the liquid and cool. Mix the second cook with this to fortify flavor strength. If the bones are very, very soft and dissolved, they are suitable to feed to your pet. If not soft, compost or discard.

Chef's Narrative

If you’ve pondered how to make the most of the remains, the bones and bits of your whole roasted chicken – here’s a great solution. Although any pot will do for the stovetop method, a heavy bottom works best. We’ve made this in our crock pot with good results. We combine the last two broths when cool to fortify and blend the flavors.

Recipe Substitutions

Duck, turkey, game or guinea hens.
