Microwave chicken stock

Based on Leites Culinaria but without the annoying adverts and converted for European units and microwaves. Works really well.

Please bear in mind a 1.75kg chicken will make three to four batches of this size.

Around 28 minutes of time for enough stock for a week of delicious home made meals!

Ingredients for 1 batch

  • 70g cooked chicken bones and skin (ideally from a freshly roasted chicken).
  • 250ml cold water.
  • ½ garlic clove.
  • 10-15ml chopped vegetables, such as onion, carrots, or celery.
  • ½ml white pepper and salt to taste, added after cooking.

Directions

  1. Put everything listed in the ingredients into a big microwave jug, cut the bones so they are covered by the water.
  2. Cook on 1000W power for 7 minutes - stir halfway through, especially if the water does not cover the chicken.
  3. Stand for 2 minutes then strain and add the seasoning if required

If not using immediately, refridgerates well for up to five to seven days at 0°C. Ensure it is completely cold before placing in fridge in a sealed container.

Or may be frozen.

If doubling amounts, remember to double the time as it's a microwave! 140g of bones and 500ml of water will be 14 minutes not 7.
