The stock can be used for cooking rice, quinoa or use for making chicken & noodles - basically anything you'd use canned chicken broth for.

I do mine like this and love it but my boyfriend says he doesn't like the consistency...something about being too soft. So when I know he's going to be eating it I'll throw it under the broiler for a few minutes before serving to crisp it up a bit. And I like others make the stock afterwards. When cooking the chicken I don't add any liquids. After the chicken is done i'll pull all the meat from it then throw the carcass back in the slow cooker. Here's where I add carrots, celery, onions, whatever. I'll add several cups of water, depending on how big the original chicken was. Then I let it cook overnight. In the morning you have a slow cooker full of the best chicken stock! I freeze them in my silicon muffin pan so I have stock in 1 cup servings ready to go.

Great idea on the muffin pan! Thanks!

Yes!

Do it!

So economical and I felt like Betty freakin' Crocker when I was serving it up and bragging about my homemade broth for the weeks to come!

The family loved it and I yielded several cups of free, nutrient rich broth.

A whole bird and 10? cups of broth for $5? Oh heck yes!

This is the recipe I learned from:

^^^ I second this recipe. SO simple and the most delicious roasted chicken I've ever eaten!

I'm going to make this recipe tomorrow add 1 potato diced and no celery.

I'm so excited I actually have the lemon and white pepper this time.

Half the time I omit half the ingredients and it's still divine.

Tomorrow we feast!
