Classic Chicken Stock
  1. Break chicken down into leg quarters, neck, and bone-in breasts with wings attached.

  2. Place chicken pieces, chicken wings, onions, carrots, celery, parsley, and peppercorns in a large stockpot; pour in water.

  3. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.

  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and very gently simmer, uncovered, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a low simmer, until stock is light golden, has some body, and has a rich chicken flavor, about 1 hour 45 minutes.

  5. Remove chicken pieces from stock, and pull off meat; discard bones and skin.

  6. Reserve chicken meat for another use.

  7. Strain stock through a fine mesh strainer into a large (4-quart) heatproof container; discard solids.

  8. Use stock immediately or refrigerate, uncovered, until completely chilled, about 2 hours.

  9. Cover stock and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
