The Best Chicken Stock You Will Ever Make

Every year I am gifted a few mature chickens and this is what I make with them. This type of bird offers a more robust tasting broth because the meat is more flavorful and it has a bit more fat then the younger bird. Because it is an older bird the meat is tougher so it needs to be slow cooked to tenderize it. This slow cooked bird will give you an amazing broth you can use for soups or gravies. I portion this in 500 ml containers and freeze it for later use. I can't believe I still never posted this here.

I have posted a tutorial on how I clarify stock http://www.recipezazz.com/forum/viewtop ... 32&t=10633

Goodness thats such a great recipe and photos. What may I ask is a matured chicken, is that an old chicken?

A mature chicken is a chicken that is around a year old, it is also called stewing hen.
