Recipe: roasted chicken & homemade chicken stock

One of the greatest benefits to raising the beautiful, natural, delicious food here at Wishful Acres Farm is EATING IT!!!

This delicious chicken was raised here. To cook, I layed it breast-up in a pan, sprinkled it with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then I poured about an inch of water in the bottom of the pan and cooked it in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Delicious!

After we eat the meat, I'll transfer the carcass to the stock pot. I'll add about 2 gallons of water and bring to a boil. Then I'll reduce to a simmer for at least an hour. That's homemade stock, and it freezes easily for your homemade soups all winter long (banish the headcolds!).
