Time 1h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large carrots, cut in half
2 large stalks celery, cut in half
1 large onion, quartered
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 fryer chicken
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons low-sodium chicken base (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
1 8-inch square of cheesecloth, or as needed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 large fresh sage leaves
16 cups water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place carrots, celery, and onion in a large stockpot. Place garlic on top of vegetables, making sure it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Lay chicken on top of garlic. Add enough water to cover chicken by about 1/2 inch. Add pepper and chicken base.
  • Make a bouquet garni bag by placing cheesecloth on a work surface and adding thyme, rosemary, and sage leaves. Tie cheesecloth into a bundle, and place in the stockpot.
  • Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is falling apart, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken to a large shallow bowl, allow to cool, and reserve for later use. Strain broth into a very large bowl, discarding vegetables, garlic, and bouquet garni bag.

Not a fan of this recipe. The broth was too greasy and didn't have much flavor.

I found the broth to be a bit bland. I think I'll add more spices next time to give it more flavor.

The broth was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I'll try it again with less salt next time.

The broth turned out great, but I added a few extra veggies like carrots and celery to give it more flavor. It was a hit with my family and friends.

Followed the recipe to a T and it turned out amazing! The broth was so flavorful and clear, and it made my chicken noodle soup taste like it came from a restaurant. Will definitely be making this again.

This chicken broth recipe is a game-changer! I've tried store-bought broth before, but homemade is on a whole other level. It's so flavorful and rich, and it makes a huge difference in my soups and stews. I'll never go back to store-bought again!
