Save the bones from a roast or BBQ chicken.
If you’ve got an hour before bed, then let the stock simmer straight after dinner. Otherwise, store the roasted chicken bones in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and make it later. Alternatively, stockpile bones/carcasses for up to 3 months in the freezer to make a larger batch of stock at a later date.
1 roasted chicken, bones
water
1⁄2 onion, optional
1 carrot, optional
parsley, stems, optional
salt, to taste, optional

Place your /carcass in a medium saucepan, so that they fit snugly, and add water to just cover.
If you have 1/2 , an old or a few parsley stems in the fridge add them too, although it will still be delicious if you don't.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for an hour, longer if you're making a big batch.
Strain the stock into a bowl, taste, and add a little salt if needed.
Allow to cool slightly, then store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Use this stock to enhance the flavour of your meals. Add to pasta sauce, rags and stews, stir fries and curries. Cooking rice in broth instead of water makes it taste delicious and increases the nutritional value.
