This is a wonderful stock. I'm so in love with it. It goes in all my recipes that need broth now. Chicken pot pie, chicken soup, chicken and dumplings, whatever. Whenever I don't have fresh ginger root, I'll just sprinkle the powdered stuff in and it still is wonderful.

This recipe worked great. I froze it after making it. One thing I didn't add was the salt since I'm worried about how much salt is in stock or broth. I used some stock yesterday (made soup)and it turned out great. It needs salt though but I like to add it when I use the stock in a recipe. Great recipe, easy to follow instructions and great results!

Just made this stock, and wow! I am very amazed at what a little ginger will do to a recipe. I actually used a stewing hen. Didn't cut it up right away, just the legs to start off with. I sauted the carrots, celery and garlic added the chicken and water and boiled for 1 1/2 hours (longer b/c it was whole). I then took out the chicken and cut it up into quarters, took off the chicken breast and put the whole thing back into the water with some bay leaves, a little salt and the ginger. boiled it for another 2-3 hours. I didn't have onion, but i put in some green winter onion instead and it was amazing even still! I will never make stock any other way again. Thanx for an amazing recipe!

This is cheaper and better than store bought. The chicken was used to make soup and chicken salad. I now have plenty stock to use. The stock was stored in one cup size containers and frozen.

I only had a meaty chicken carcass but it worked fine with a lighter taste more like broth than stock!... I'm so happy to be making my own chicken stock ( It's so wonderful to know I'm giving my family home cooked soups stews without the added MSG in cubes and cans! :)

I've made lot's of stock over the years and this one rocks! I'm not quite sure why either. I just plopped in a whole chicken breast side up, the breast meat remained moist. I guess it's simmering the skin and bones for a long time that put this over the top for me. Good way to use up older veggies too.

I really love this stock recipe. I accidentally left the chicken in longer than the recommended hour, but it was extremely tender and delicious. USE THIS RECIPE!

Had no bay leaf, but used fresh parsley instead. Also added a few peppercorns and a garlic clove. The ginger along with everything else smells lovely when cooking. I'll definitely be making this from now on instead of purchasing chicken broth.

Good stuff, I love the effect of the ginger. Next time though, I will have to make it the right way. Seeing as I have a 6 month old and can sometimes have "mommy mush brain", I failed to put a lid on my simmering stock (and there is no direction in the recipe saying to do so). Needless to say, I didn't have much when I realized the issue. It was still good, though!

i really enjoy the ginger in this chicken stock recipe, which is the one thing that really separates it from other chicken stocks i've made. i generally follow the recipe, except that i at least double the ginger, and i add more water (10 cups), too, because 7 cups for 4lbs of chicken (backs) seems too little. (and i'm cheap.) also, i recommend using a large yellow onion, and placing the peel in the stock while it's simmering. this give a rich yellow color. really tasty recipe!

What flavor! The difference had to be returning the bones to the pot. This was amazing! I made it with the leftovers from a roasted chicken and then used the stock to make the Best Chicken Soup recipe from this site. What a great meal on a cold day. It's a keeper!

This stock is so full of flavor. I omitted the ginger and added a little dried parsley and it came out fabulous! Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to try it with the ginger. Thanks so much for the great recipe!

This was awesome. Just full of flavor. Only complaint is that a lot of the liquid cooked away during the day and I wasn't left with as much as aniticipated. Next time I will either double up or add some canned chicken broth to stretch. Update: Made a second time. this time I just completely covered my 3.5 pound chicken with water. I added 2 bouillon cubes as well. Gave me lots more stock with no loss of flavor.
