Overnight Chicken Broth Recipes

Steps:

• To a large pot add the chicken, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, peppercorns and water to cover, about 14 cups. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Skim the top of the broth of any impurities rise to the surface. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer the broth, uncovered, for 1 hour, skimming as needed.
• Remove the chicken to a plate. Continue to simmer the broth. Use tongs to handle and shred the meat of the chicken and set aside for another use. Return the bones and skin to the broth and continue to simmer for an additional hour.
• Remove from the heat and strain the broth. Discard the bones and vegetables and allow the broth to cool. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, vegetables, herbs, and peppercorns in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken completely. Heat the water to just under a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a very low simmer, so that 1 or 2 bubbles break the surface of the broth about once a minute. Skim any fat and scum from the surface with a ladle, large spoon, or skimmer. (To prevent losing a lot of stock when skimming, put the skimmed liquid into a degreasing cup, and return any useable broth back to the pot.) Cook for about 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through but not dry.
• Remove the chicken from the pot, but continue to simmer the broth. Cool the chicken for about 10 minutes. Cut the chicken meat from the bone, and reserve for a chicken salad, soup, or other recipe. Return the bones to the pot and cook for 1 hour.
• Strain into a non-reactive container, like another pot, a large bowl, or plastic quart or pint containers. Fill the sink with a mixture of ice and cold water so it comes about halfway up the sides of the container. Nestle the broth in the ice bath. (Stirring the broth speeds up the cooling process.) Cover and refrigerate or freeze the broth for future use. Broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the broth is unused after 5 days bring it to a boil before using.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a soup kettle or Dutch oven. Slowly bring to a boil; reduce heat until mixture is just at a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 hours, skimming foam as necessary. , Set chicken aside until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones. Discard bones; save meat for another use. Strain broth, discarding vegetables and seasonings. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Skim fat from surface.

Steps:

• Put the chicken bones, carrots, celery, parsnips, bay leaves, thyme, onion, salt and pepper into a large slow cooker. Cover with water by 2 inches, then set on low. Cook for 10 to 12 hours overnight. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer, then store in jars.

Steps:

• Place the chicken wings, vegetables, salt and black peppercorns into a 7-quart pressure cooker. Pour in enough water just to cover everything. Do not fill above the cooker's "maximum fill" line, or 2/3 full. Cover and lock the lid. Bring to pressure over high heat, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, so that you barely hear hissing from the pot. Cook for 40 minutes.
• Release the pressure using the cooker's release device (read the manual), or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 30 seconds. Open carefully.
• Set a cheesecloth-lined colander in a large bowl or container and strain the broth. Discard the solids. Refrigerate the stock overnight, or until the fat solidifies. Remove the fat. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and saute for 2 minutes, until garlic is golden. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Season the vegetables with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Saute for about 8 minutes. Cut the organic chicken and chicken bones into pieces. Really hack into it so that the bones and marrow are exposed. Add the chicken pieces and pint of chicken bones to the pot. Fill the pot with water until it just covers all the chicken, and bring to a boil. Tie the parsley, celery leaves, bay leaf, thyme, and tarragon into a bouquet using butcher's twine or kitchen twine. Add the bouquet to the pot along with the black peppercorns. Once the broth has begun to boil, bring the heat down to medium-low. Partially cover, and let the broth simmer for 2 to 3 hours. Strain the chicken broth through cheesecloth. Hand-pick the good chicken meat and set it aside.

Steps:

• In a stockpot, combine all the ingredients. Slowly bring to a boil over low heat. Cover and simmer 45-60 minutes or until the meat is tender, skimming the surface as foam rises., Remove chicken and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove and discard skin and bones. Chop chicken; set aside for soup or save for another use. , Strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined colander, discarding vegetables and bay leaf. If using immediately, skim fat. Or, refrigerate 8 hours or overnight; remove fat from surface. Broth can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen 4 to 6 months.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken quarters and necks under cold water and place in an 11-quart stockpot. Cut onions, carrots, and celery in half and add to pot along with bay leaves, peppercorns, and dill sprigs. Add enough cold water to cover, about 4 1/2 quarts.
• Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface, about 4 hours.
• Remove pot from heat and strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, discarding solids. Let broth cool to room temperature and refrigerate overnight. Remove any solidified fat from the surface (and save for cooking, if desired). Broth can be kept refrigerated for 2 days or frozen.
