Delicious Chicken stock

I have spent hours boling up chicken bones to get the flavour out of them but if I am honest its not really that nice. And lets face it, chicken bones don't taste that good anyhow.
I have also spent ages washing out the tin i just roasted my chicken in and thinking to myself " look at all this lovely flavour I am tipping down the drain."
This method catches all that lovely flavour, saves on the washing up and reduces the fat levels in the roast chicken.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    You need to raise the chicken up from the bottom of the roasting tray. As you can see here the chicken sits on a wire tray giving an inch or so between the chicken and the tray. You then pour in about a pint of water.

  2. 2

    Roast the chicken as usual. Check the water level every so often and to up if needed

  3. 3

    After cooking, the roasting tin contains a lovely chicken stock. Give it stir and decant into a jug. Put it into the fridge overnight and skim off the fat. You can use this fat to make roast spuds. Its not good for you but it is delish!

I love to cook. I have been cooking since I can remember and like to create dishes that are just a bit different.I am also a bit of a cheat. I like authentic flavours but if I am cooking for a dinner party I want to spend time with my guests rather than slaving away in the kitchen while they are drinking wine at the table.I like to think that my recipes are quick and relatively easy.I try to keep fat and salt to a minimum and use Olive or Rapeseed oil as somebody told me that it was healthy.I almost never cook with salt. My blood pressure is borderline and I am told that too much salt isn't good for you.Sugar is my biggest wind up! I like sugar in sweet things like cake and ice cream but why do they have to put it in Gravy?I check the ingredients of everything I buy and if a savoury product lists sugar on the ingredients then it goes back on the shelf.
