Gennaro's Perfect Chicken Stock

[moncherieve]

He is so awesome. Although there are so many chefs in the whole world, this is the first chef who I found very calm in cooking. He is like enjoying it very much, gives his heart to all his cooking. I will make sure to test his dishes when I travel to his place soon.

I'm sure this recipe will make good stock, superior to store bought stocks I reckon.
However in the cooking school I'm studying in right now we do 2 things a bit differently.

1. We NEVER add salt to our stocks, reason being in some way or another the stocks we use will always be reduced to strengthen it's innate flavour. If theres too much salt at the beginning, then whatever you use your stock for is most probably going to be a bit too salty. You can always season your dishes according to your taste later on, but it is much more difficult to fix an already salty stock. 

2. We always trim every last bit of fat off of the chicken carcass prior to boiling it, because if you boil a fatty chicken then a lot of the fat is gonna create scum which will float upwards, Gennaro didn't mention this but you'll have to skim as much of the scum off of your stock. If you don't then you'll end up with a cloudy greasy looking stock. 

Thats my 2 cents. In essence, love your stock, and it will love you right back!

My family have been using a near identical recipe for making chicken stock for generations. Now I've started making it too. We most commonly use the stock and a few of the left over vegetables to make an INCREDIBLE chicken noodle soup. The flavour of it is amazing and you can smell it cooking throughout the entire house (and even outside!). It's always the simplest, cheapest recipes/ingredients that pack the most incredible flavour. It's no wonder that peasant food/dishes from centuries ago have been adopted by fine dining restaurants across the world. There is no better example of that than much of Italian cuisine.

This is the first time I've seen anyone making homemade stock from scratch without adding in stock pots, or cubes in it. It's incredible 👍👍👍👍👍

It's 6.18am and I am watching Gennaro cooking that makes my morning a fantastic one just like all his dishes Fantastic hahaha love you too Gennaro!!

[albertbenassuli]

Gennaro .... you are the best. Captivating way to cook.

[stevestefler]

Perfect. Confirmed. Done it so many times. Only 1 thing i do different - I use chicken breast instead. Meat gets so many wonderful flavors. Even with my hatred to boiled chicken - one made by this recipe is tasty and healthy.

[RedPandaMelbourne]

Just made this today - so simple and so tasty. Making my own chicken stock from now on!!
