You can either use a whole chicken, just breasts or just leg quarters. I like to use the breast meat.

I put 3 or 4 chicken breasts in a roasting pan, brush with butter. Put on salt, pepper, and garic powder to taste. Put 1-2 cups of water. Bake at 350* for 1 1/2 hours. Cool and take it off the bone. Save the skin, bones and juices.

To make the stock, put the skin, bones and juices in an 8 or 12 qt stock pot. Add 3 quarts of water and 1 chopped onion. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 1 hour. Strain and throw out the stuff in the strainer. Keep the stock, cool and use or freeze for later use.

I cut up the meat and use it for casseroles or chicken/pastry or chicken salad. Freeze some of the meat for later use.
