what to do with chicken after stock

[Guest guest]

hello NN,

I lurk here. Thanks to all of you who share so much information. It is

wonderful to have an online community of people who eat this way

because it is still too rare in the general public. I focus on cooking

truly tasty food that is NN healthy too.

After making stock I have wondered what to do with the meat and have

found something that turns out pretty well. This works better for

chicken than beef.

1. Take the meat off the bones and put it in a plastic bag in the

fridge for several hours or overnight to let it dry out.

2. Process in food processor into tiny shreds.

3. If using chicken, gently heat amount of duck fat with bay leaf and

thyme or other herbs to taste.

4. Off the heat, combine fat with shredded chicken. The consistency

should be moist. Not drowning in fat, but not dry either.

5. Pack in jar or ceramic and press down, then top with another layer

of duck fat to seal. Then cover with plastic wrap.

6. Wait 3 days before eating to let flavors mingle. Properly done and

sealed on top with more duck fat after dipping in, these should last

for weeks.

Leftover stock rillettes! I had some for breakfast today and was quite

pleased. I also always wanted something tasty to do with the chicken

after making stock.

cheers,
