Chicken stock is a flavorful liquid base used in countless recipes. It's made by simmering chicken bones, meat scraps, and aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery in water for an extended period. This process extracts collagen and nutrients, resulting in a rich, golden broth. Good quality chicken stock is characterized by its savory, umami flavor and can range from light and delicate to deeply concentrated, depending on the ingredients and simmering time. Use homemade chicken stock for the best flavor or choose a low-sodium, all-natural store-bought option. It's a kitchen staple for adding depth and richness to various dishes.

Chicken stock should be stored in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. Once opened, commercially prepared stock typically lasts for 5-7 days in the fridge. Homemade stock should be cooled quickly and used within 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze chicken stock in airtight containers or freezer bags, leaving some headspace for expansion. Frozen stock can maintain its quality for up to 2-3 months. You can also freeze the stock in ice cube trays for small portions.
