Homemade Chicken Stock image

If you want to use the stock right away, skim the fat off the top first. If planning to use it later, refridgerate until the fat congeals on the surface, then lift it off. To make vegetable stock, substitute 2 whole tomatoes for the hen. From Canadian Living November 2008

I'm not a fan of this recipe. The stock was too greasy for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it.
