Chicken Stock from Scratch?

[jjhunter]

'elp! 'elp! Some assistance much appreciated

I'm setting aside some time today to batch prepare most of my household's meals for the week, and would love to actual use the leftover chicken bones to make stock instead of tossing them out. Does anyone have any experience making stock from such bones? and/or a reliable recipe they might point me to?

ETA: success! Details here: Adventures in homemade chicken stock (FOR SCIENCE)

Take bones. Add a halved onion, two carrots in large chunks, a couple stalks of celery in large chunks, two to three whole cloves of garlic, about 20 peppercorns, a couple of whole cloves, and some thyme, if desired. Put them all in a big crockpot, and cover with water. Let cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove from the crock, strain, cool, and freeze.
