Put the carcase , any drippings you have , and any stray parts like wing.
Peel and quarter the onion.
Add it to the pot.
Break the celery into 2-3 pieces and add that as well.
Add cold water to come up about 3 / 4 of the way up the bones.
Bring to a simmer and simmer gently for 3-4 hours.
Cool and refrigerate to congeal the grease.
The next day , remove the congealed grease.
Warm the broth enough to be comfortable for your hands.
