Rotisserie Chicken Stock

The Magic of Rotisserie Chicken

Rotisserie chickens are pretty convenient because they are everywhere, easy to break down, and perfect for healthy diets. Did you know that you can take those leftover pickings and scraps and make a delicious stock for your other recipes?

This easy-to-make stock is packed with flavor from the mirepoix and aromatics and has no added sodium! Better for your health, better for your family, and better for your wallet since this is made from scraps you would normally throw away. Another bonus is how much time you save compared to a normal chicken stock. Since the bones and skin are already roasted, you can skip this step entirely!

Ditch the Hidden Sodium

The biggest issue with store bought stocks is how much sodium is needed to make them palatable. Often hovering around 40-50% DV, even the low sodium stocks hover around 25% DV for sodium, and while the sodium is very prominent, the flavor just isn’t there. And it should be!

You’ll love how this simple recipe elevates your everyday cooking. Give it a try and savor the homemade magic.
