Homemade chicken stock is a nutrient-rich liquid made by simmering chicken bones, vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery, herbs, and spices in water. This comforting staple, found in cuisines worldwide, is particularly rooted in French and European cooking yet appreciated across cultures for its versatility. Unlike store-bought options, homemade stock is free from preservatives and allows control over sodium levels. Packed with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, it can support bone health and hydration. Collagen from simmered chicken bones may promote joint and skin health. Low in calories but rich in flavor, it serves as a wholesome base for soups, stews, and sauces. However, its health benefits can vary depending on the fat content and added salt, so skimming off excess fat during cooking and moderating seasoning is recommended for a lighter option.
