I want to thank everyone here for the help and great suggestions on
making chicken stock. I am going for my first stock this evening. I
have just a couple more questions:

We had baked chicken tonite. The carcass is cooling. Before dinner, I
put the feet in a pan which has been simmering for about 2 hours. I
also have a few giblets and the neck.

Here is my plan. I would appreciate comments or suggestions:

1. Pull most of the meat off of the carcass and set aside.

2. In a large, heavy pot, put the carcass, the neck, the giblets, and
the feet that have already simmered for 2 hours on very low. Add some
cerely, onion, and carrots cut into 1-inch pieces plus a couple of bay
leaves and a few peppercorns. Cover with water and simmer on very low
for several hours, until the meat is falling off the bone and the
vegetables have given up all of their flavor.

3. Let cool, then strain (through cheesecloth?) and discard the bones
and vegetables. Put this in a container and let cool. Skim off the
fat.

4. When I am ready to make soup, start with the reserved chicken meat,
some new vegetables, and the stock. Cook until tender. Maybe add
noodles at the end.

Have I got it mostly right?

PS: Two more questions:

1. What about the skin? Does that go into the stock pot, too?

2. What about the dressing that was made inside the bird? Can that go
into the stock pot, too?

  Absolutely!

  IMO, anything you like can go in the stock.  After Thanksgiving, we
do a stock pot, and it involves some leftover dressing as well as some
of the veggies from the meal as well as the carcass, herbs, etc.

It can, but I wouldn't.
Too unpredictable.

That's pretty good.
Yes, add the skin.
No, don't add the dressing, but don't stess about small bits of
dressing that have adhered to the carcase.

I would strain it using a sieve, not cheesecloth, but that's not
terribly important. A sieve is a lot easier.

I'm sure you'll end up with a good stock using that method. Don't
forget to add salt when making  the SOUP, not when MAKING the stock.

Yes, but I use a screen strainer rather than cheescloth. :-)

Cheers!

Cheesecloth is good for the bouquet garni of herbs and spices, peppercorns,
etc.
