Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken parts, such as necks and backs
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), rinsed
4 medium carrots, cut into pieces
3 celery stalks, cut into pieces
1 large yellow onion, quartered
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
5 stems parsley

Steps:

  • In a 10- or 12-quart stockpot, heat oil over high. Add chicken parts and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, 15 minutes.
  • Pour out fat. Add whole chicken, carrots, celery, onion, peppercorns, parsley, and enough cold water to cover ingredients by 1/2 inch (about 12 cups).
  • Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 40 minutes, skimming fat and foam and flipping chicken once.
  • Transfer whole chicken to rimmed baking sheet and let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour liquid through a paper-towel-lined sieve into a large bowl (you should have 10 cups broth). Discard vegetables and chicken parts.
  • Shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding skin and bones (you should have 4 cups meat).

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasonings to make it palatable.
