Chicken Stock

This homemade chicken stock is a versatile staple that provides a rich, savoury foundation for countless dishes. By using fresh chicken wings and aromatic garden vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, you can create a depth of flavour that shop-bought cubes simply cannot match. Gently simmering the ingredients allows the collagen and nutrients to release slowly, resulting in a clear, golden liquid that is both comforting and nourishing.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this stock is naturally low in salt and free from the hidden sugars or artificial preservatives often found in processed versions. It is an excellent heart-healthy base for soups, stews, or risottos, making it a brilliant addition to a balanced diet. Prepare a large batch to keep in the freezer, ensuring you always have a healthy flavour booster ready for your mid-week meals.

How to make Chicken Stock

Combine all ingredients and 2.8L cold water in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently, skimming the surface occasionally, until stock is reduced by one-third, 2 1/2-3 hours.
