5 lbs chicken backs (preferably both) or 5 lbs chicken necks (preferably both)
1 large onion, peeled & roughly chopped
3 scallions, halved
3 carrots, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
12 head garlic (about 5-8 cloves)
8 slices gingerroot
⅓ cup mixed herbs (cilantro, basil, parsley, etc)
5 black peppercorns
1 tablespoon sea salt
½ cup rice wine
20 cups water (1.25 gallons)

1
Place all ingredients in a large stockpot, adding a little more water, if needed, to cover the rest of the ingredients by about an inch.
2
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer very gently (the broth will be cloudy if you let it continue to boil) for 3 hours, occasionally skimming surface to remove any foam or impurities that rise to the top.
3
Strain into a container and cool to room temperature before refrigerating (if placed directly into the fridge without cooling, it will sometimes go sour).
4
If you want a more intensely flavored stock, return the stock to the pot after it has cooled and simmer over low heat until the volume is reduced by half.
