What is chicken stock made from?

* Chicken bones: These provide the flavor and gelatin, which gives the stock body.

* Chicken carcass: This can include the wings, feet, neck, and other parts that are typically not eaten whole.

* Vegetables: Common additions include carrots, celery, onions, and herbs like parsley and bay leaves. These add depth of flavor and color.

* Water: This is the base of the stock.

* Salt: This enhances the flavors and helps to preserve the stock.

Optional ingredients:

* Peppercorns: Add a slight spiciness.

* Garlic: A more pungent flavor.

* Tomato paste: Adds sweetness and depth.

* Other aromatics: Such as thyme, rosemary, or ginger.

The exact proportions and ingredients can vary depending on the recipe and desired flavor profile.
