Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 24 ounces of chicken stock and 1.5 cups of water.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Add the 1 pound package of wild rice to the boiling stock and stir briefly.

Cover the pot with a lid and wait for steam to vent from the lid.

Once steam starts venting, remove the pot from the burner and place it in the oven.

Set a timer for one hour and let the rice bake in the oven.

After an hour, carefully remove the pot from the oven using potholders.

Fluff the rice with a spoon, pulling rice from the bottom to the top.

Optionally, add butter or herbs for flavor.
