Easy Chicken Stock Recipe
There is no way easy to add a homemade taste to almost anything you make than homemade Stock. This is a straightforward and yummy stock recipe I have made for years. My kids love it, and I use it in everything from gravy to casseroles. Once you have good stock in your freezer, you can find a hundred things to do with it.
A good tip when making stock is to freeze some for a later time. You can even freeze some in ice cube trays for a small amount whenever you need a little bit. I hope you enjoy it.
