You can also freeze it...small containers....I do this as well as have a backup case of Costco chicken stock...I make stock often with my Costco rotisserie chickens I buy....say at least monthly...

I save the chicken bones from the grill in a different bag, they give a nice smokiness to the broth. My Instant Pot gets quite a workout at times it make making broth so much easier.

I used to put it 2 cups at a time in ziplock freezer bags. take up little space when frozen flat.

I boil the bones for about 15 min and skim off the "junk". While waiting for the bones to cool I make a mix of 2 parts Onion, one part carrott, one part celery. I also put in a load of garlic, bay leave and tumeric. I wack the bones to expose the marrow and put them back in the pot and cook with the veg in my pressure cooker.. That is my base for a load of stuff...

You?

to allow the marrow to flavor the broth. It gives a more intense flavor.. Saute a little mirepois, throw in the bones, cover with water, and you're all set for cold and flu season.

but garlic is something that can be crushed to a paste and cooked in the broth later. I especially like garlicky chicken soup when I have a cold, it's one of the few things I can taste.
