Use it again for boiling the next batch of chicken and freeze it again.
Do this a few times on a rotating basis until the stock gets nice and
strong. Then I would can it in quart jars, but that takes some special
equipment (an autoclave or pressure canner.)
If you're cooking chickens 2 or 3 times a week, you could just store the
broth in the refrigerator between boilings.
What do you do with the bones? You can crack them and boil them in the
broth to make it stronger and more "stock-like".
