Rotisserie Chicken Stock

Delicious Home-Made Rotisserie Chicken Stock

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 whole rotisserie chicken carcasses – picked clean
  • 1 large carrot – chopped into 2” pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion – quartered
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 whole celery rib – chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 3 quarts water
  • 1/2 TBL whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients into a large stockpot and cover with ample water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer for 4 hours
  2. Skim off any foam that accumulates, but using rotisserie chicken rarely creates a lot of foam
  3. When finished strain through a colander, then use a large glass bowl to press the remaining meat, bones and vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible
  4. Wipe out the pot, then strain the stock back into it with a fine mesh sieve
  5. Strain one last time through a cheesecloth lined sieve back into the bowl and let it cool
  6. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Scrape off any fat that solidifies on top, then store in tightly covered containers for up to a week, or freeze for 2-3 months
