Chicken Broth Cooked in Advance

Cut the chicken in half and wash it under running water. Clean the remains of the quill and the inside of blood and skin. Never just rinse a whole chicken. You can experience some surprises there.

Put the halves in a large saucepan, cover them well with water, add salt and bring to the boil, then simmer gently over a low flame for about 2 hours. After about 1 hour, add the cleaned and roughly chopped vegetables with the bay leaves and the grains turned through the spice mill. In between, remove the foam with a skimmer. Take out the chicken pieces, let them cool down, peel and cut the meat depending on the intended use.
