Marks & Spencer Chicken Stock
What it is
This is a concentrated liquid chicken stock, made from chicken bones and vegetables. It is designed to provide a rich, savory chicken flavor to dishes. The stock is typically simmered for a long period to extract maximum flavor. It comes in a convenient, easy-to-pour format for home cooks.
How people cook with it
Chicken stock is a fundamental building block in many savory recipes. It adds depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Risottos and grains
- Braising liquids
To use, simply add the desired amount of stock to your cooking. For a more intense flavor, you can use it undiluted. If you prefer a milder taste or are using it in a dish with other strong flavors, you can dilute it with water. It can be added at the beginning of cooking to form the base of a sauce or soup, or later to adjust the consistency and flavor of a finished dish. It is also excellent for deglazing pans.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining stock in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best to use the opened stock within a few days for optimal freshness and flavor. You can also freeze the remaining stock in ice cube trays for smaller, pre-portioned amounts.
