Basic Chicken Stock
Chicken stock is a staple in most commercial kitchens, just like salt and pepper. It is really easy to make.
We reach for it whenever we need a liquid. It has a mild flavor that works with just about everything. Of course it makes great chicken soup and chowders, but it is also essential as a sauce base, in gravy and pot pies, as a braising liquid, poaching liquid, for cooking rice and other grains, orzo, couscous, stuffings, and polenta. Let your imagination roam.
