2 md Quartered
6 Sprigs parsley

In a large stockpot, combine the chicken parts, onion, celery, carrots,

boil over high heat, lower the heat, and partially cover. Cook at a barely
bubbling simmer for at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours, occasionally
skimming off any scum that collects on the surface.

When the stock has finished simmering, set aside to cool. Strain the liquid

Let cool slightly, cover, and refrigerate. Discard the vegetables and other
solids.

Refrigerate the stock until chilled, then skim off the fat. The stock will
keep, refrigerated, in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days. The
yield varies according to how long the stock has simmered. Yield: 2 to 2
