Chicken stock
Chicken stock is a liquid ingredient made by simmering chicken bones, vegetables, herbs, and spices in water. It is commonly used as a base for soups, sauces, and stews to add depth and flavour to dishes. Chicken stock is a savoury ingredient derived from animals, specifically chickens, making it a popular choice in many recipes for its rich taste.
To produce chicken stock, chicken bones and other ingredients are simmered in water for an extended period, allowing the flavours to meld together. As the mixture cooks, the bones release collagen, which gives the stock its gelatinous texture and richness. The liquid is then strained to remove the solids, leaving behind a flavourful and aromatic broth that can enhance the taste of various dishes.
In food labels, chicken stock is listed as an ingredient to indicate that the product contains the savoury essence of chicken. It is used to contribute depth of flavour, enhance the overall taste of the food, and provide a savoury base for soups, sauces, and gravies. Common foods that may contain chicken stock include soups, risottos, casseroles, and even some packaged sauces or ready meals.
