How to make it

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil with the vegetables and seasoning.
  • Place the chicken in the pot (be sure it is enough water to cover the chicken).
  • Use tongs to immediately take the chicken out of the pot and place in a bowl.
  • Bring the water to a second boil.
  • Return the hot chicken to the boiling water.
  • Cover the pot with a lid.
  • Turn the burner off.
  • Let the chicken set for 1 hour in the hot water (it is then fully cooked).
  • Do not open the lid during this time.
  • Use tongs to remove the chicken pieces after it has set for 1 hour; let the chicken cool.
  • Strain the broth and discard the vegetables.
  • Chill the broth.
  • Remove chilled fat from the broth.
  • Store the broth and save for other uses.
  • Remove the meat from bones; discard skin and bones; cube the meat.
  • Use or store the meat in 2 cup containers for other uses; label, date and freeze.

    Made this and the chicken was good. But the leg quarters wasn't all the way done so I would cook the chicken longer.

    Is the chicken then completely cooked or does it need to be cooked more when used?
