Ingredients

• 1 3-4 pounds whole chicken
• 3 large carrots
• 3 large celery stalks
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 1 bunch fresh thyme
• 2 large bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 16 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and remove any giblets from the cavity. Place the chicken in a large stock pot.

Step 2

Roughly chop the carrots and celery. Quarter the onion, leaving the skin on for added color. Add all vegetables to the pot with the chicken.

Step 3

Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and add them to the pot along with the fresh parsley, fresh thyme, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns.

Step 4

Add the sea salt and water to the pot, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged. If not, add more water as necessary.

Step 5

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a spoon.

Step 6

Allow the broth to simmer uncovered for about 3-4 hours. The longer the simmer, the more enriched the flavor will become.

Step 7

Once simmered to your preference, carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a large dish to cool slightly.

Step 8

Strain the remaining broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the vegetables and herbs.

Step 9

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Shred or chop the meat for use in soups, salads, or other meals, if desired.

Step 10

Let the broth cool to room temperature, then skim any fat that rises to the top.

Step 11

Store the bouillon in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
