Chicken stock is probably the most versatile homemade stock to make.

It is the base for many soups (including pumpkin) and is a great way to add flavour to cooked rice or quinoa. So, if you buy a whole chicken from a takeaway shop, you can use the carcass to make stock! So don’t throw it out – freeze it!

The secret to a really tasty chicken stock is to bake your chicken carcass in the oven on a very high heat for 15 minutes before placing it in the slow cooker. You don’t need to do this step – but it does make for a tastier result!
