Transform kitchen scraps into liquid gold with this professional-quality Golden Chicken Stock, what Thomas Keller calls "the life blood of any kitchen." The gentle simmering of roasted chicken bones with aromatic vegetables creates a rich, clear amber broth with remarkable depth. This stock serves as the foundation for countless soups, sauces, and dishes, adding a luxurious mouthfeel and umami backbone to everything it touches. The addition of chicken feet provides natural collagen that gives the stock body and silkiness—the perfect base for elevating your cooking to restaurant quality. - Claude

Ingredients
6 1/2 lb (3 kg) Chicken Bones, roasted
1 lb 2 oz (500 g) Chicken Feet, roasted
1 Large Onion, sliced
3 Carrots, roughly chopped
3 Celery sticks, roughly chopped
1 Leek, sliced (white part only)
2 Bay Leaves

(continued in the next column ↗️)

2 tablespoons (10 g) Thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon (5 g) Rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 g) Parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 g) Black peppercorns
2 tablespoons (10 g) Neutral Oil
8 1/2 quarts (8 litres) Cold water
Directions
Heat a large stockpot with neutral oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sweat them until they're softened but not browned.
Add the carrots and leeks and sweat them together with the onions.
Place the roasted chicken carcasses and chicken feet in the pot.
Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs.
Cover with 8 litres of cold water and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, carefully skim off the first "raft" of impurities that rise to the surface.
Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 2-3 hours.
During the simmering process, occasionally skim off any additional impurities that rise to the surface.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the parsley.
Turn off the heat and allow the stock to settle for at least 30 minutes.
Perform one final skimming to remove any remaining fat or impurities.
You might want to use a ladle to push down the ingredients and use the edge to remove grease and impurities gathered around the rim.
Strain the stock through muslin or a fine mesh strainer to remove all solids.
The finished stock should have a beautiful amber color similar to a blonde ale.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
One of the Six Basic Stocks. This stock can be further reduced to create a beautiful Chicken Butter Sauce with the addition of a splash of cream, butter, and a little water to open up the flavors. For a seafood variation, try adding clams and a splash of white wine to this reduced stock - it makes an excellent sauce for turbot or other delicate fish.
