Remove the fatty parts and skin from the chicken parts. Wash and peel the vegetables. Put everything in a cooking pot, and add just enough water to cover everything.
Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once it starts simmering, turn the heat to low and let it cook for at least 2 hours. The longer you cook it, the more flavor and collagen will be released into the water, making your chicken stock richer and thick
Turn off the heat and let your chicken stock cool. Once it's lukewarm, strain it. Your chicken stock is basically ready.
Optional: Let it cool in the fridge and skim off the solidified fat from the top.
