Learn How to Make Chicken Stock Like a Chef
Untitled from Daniel Ahern on Vimeo.
Often, when I'm feeling harried and in need of a little escape from the grind of my day-to-day working life, I'll pause for a moment and check in with a few blogs. I have a folder in my RSS reader labeled Food - Favorites that I turn to for particular inspiration and escape. One of the blogs that lives in that folder is Gluten-Free Girl, written by the buoyant Shauna James Ahern (her first book, which is based on the blog, was just released in paperback) and her husband, chef Danny Ahern.
Last night, as I was scrolling through those blogs, I discovered a video these two had made, in which Shauna filmed Danny making two different varieties of chicken stock. I was fascinated, not only because I saw the number of ways in which I could improve my own chicken stock by slowing the whole process down, but also because it gave me the opportunity to get a glimpse into their kitchen and thus, their lives.
Thanks Shauna and Danny for making this video. I'm looking forward to seeing more from your kitchen!

1I actually just made a huge batch of stock last weekend. The only thing I did differently was I boiled the whole chicken that way I could just shred the meat later and make a delicious chicken noodle soup...and it was SO good. Better flavor, less salt and the satisfaction of knowing that I made it all (well, minus the noodles) from scratch.
2I just found this new blog it is located at this address http://Tossmeabrew.synthasite.com they have all kinds of instructional videos on home brewing and they have a link to a pretty awesome store as well.

Great video!
Here's a video showing another really easy way to make a chicken stock. It only takes a few minutes, there's hardly any prep work, and it makes enough to last for months (in the freezer).

6I've never read your blogs or seen your videos but was searching how to make chicken stock and I really liked your video and found it very helpful! It was a little confusing at times which stock you were making though. Thank you for sharing! You should make more videos!
