DIY: Easy Rotisserie Chicken Stock

The supermarket rotisserie chicken has saved many of us from spending a weeknight slaving in the kitchen. You plop it out of the plastic onto a serving plate and ta-da! Dinner is served. The next time your family has devoured one of these store bought birds — save the leftovers and follow this super easy recipe to stock-up on your stock.

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients in a large stock pot, cover with water.
2. Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer.
3. Simmer 2-3 hours.
4. Drain broth through a strainer into a clean pot, discard rest of the ingredients.
5. Put broth in Ziploc bags or freeze in ice cube trays, then put in your Ziploc bags.

Note:  The spices on your deli chicken make this a wonderful rich broth to add to your soups and stews.  If you don’t have all ingredients on hand, just use whatever vegetables that are in your crisper.
