What goes with Chicken Stock?
This pale stock is built around clean poultry flavour rather than roasting. Bones with attached flesh supply savour, while connective tissue can provide gelatin and a soft coating texture. The amount of body varies with the cuts and water ratio; an unsalted ready-to-use stock may remain almost fluid when cold. It is distinct from a salty stock cube, brown chicken jus or finished soup.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Chicken Stock?
Onion, carrot and celery each contribute a different kind of sweetness or freshness; use them in proportion rather than expecting more vegetables to correct a weak poultry base. Tender chicken reinforces the main flavour. Fermented paste, browned dairy fat and liver can take a smaller volume of stock into a richer preparation, provided salt, fat and reduction are controlled separately.
