Some women prefer to prepare their own chicken stock by purchasing a whole chicken, handling all the necessary but unpleasant tasks, allowing it to cook throughout the day, straining it, picking off the meat, and preserving the stock for soup. However, that’s not my style! Frankly, I hope to never have to delve into the insides of a bird… ever. I also have no interest in dealing with removing skin, bones, or any other unsavory parts from chicken. If that’s your thing, more power to you!
