Homemade Chicken Stock

Homemade stock adds so much flavor to foods that it's worth making and having it on hand. It freezes well, too.

Use the chicken to make chicken salad, pasta bakes, etc.

The cost per recipe calculation is way off. It costs about 3-4 dollars, and you can use the chicken for something else.
