If you&#8217;ve ever made a risotto with home made stock, you&#8217;ll certainly never make one with powdered stock cubes or even bought liquid stock ever again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I regularly make chicken stock from the carcass of a cooked chook or with trimmings from thigh cutlets. Variations can be created through adding different flavourings to the stock as it&#8217;s simmering. The most common variation that I make is an Asian inspired chicken stock. Chicken Thigh Cutlets are often available at the supermarket at a great price compared to the more processed skinless boneless thigh meat.<\/p>\n<p>I bought a 1.7kg pack recently at $5.49 per kilo, compared to $12.99 per kilo for boneless thigh meat. Total cost of It is a bit of work to skin and bone the thighs, but I make a nice stock with all the bits I cut off. When I weighed the chicken meat, I had 930g, making the cost of just the meat $10 per kg. Considering I would normally trim the boneless thighs of fat and sinew, that&#8217;s a pretty good result. Plus, I have a nice stock brewing with the trimmings.<\/p>\n<p>This can be the beginning of a hearty soup or use it in casseroles as the liquid portion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div
