Homemade Chicken Stock

Description

Our Homemade Chicken Stock is prepared right here in-store using hormone and chemical free chicken frames, wing tips, and fresh offcuts. We simmer these gently with a selection of vegetables and herbs, then filter the liquid three times to achieve a clear, clean stock that is ready for your cooking. The result is a deeply savoury foundation that brings real depth to soups, risottos, sauces, and braises.

We add no salt during preparation, leaving you in complete control of the seasoning in your finished dish. This makes the stock exceptionally versatile — whether you are building a delicate broth, reducing a pan sauce, or cooking grains, you can season to your own taste at every stage. Do not be surprised if it tastes subdued straight from the container; chicken stock relies on salt to unlock its flavour, and we prefer to let you decide how much to use.

This is the stock our own team reaches for week in and week out. It has a rich, clean chicken character that store-bought cubes and powders simply cannot match. Use it anywhere you would normally reach for a commercial stock and taste the difference that proper, slow-simmered, homemade quality makes.
