The Salt+MSG Founder's Tin

Ingredients
About 2 quarts (2 liters)
- 2 to 3 pounds (1 to 1.5kg) chicken carcasses and parts
- 1 large yellow onion (about 12 ounces; 350g), roughly chopped
- 1 large carrot (about 8 ounces; 225g), roughly chopped
- 2 large celery ribs (about 6 ounces; 180g), roughly chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 bunch parsley stems
- 1 bunch thyme stems
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns (about 10g)
- Water, to cover
- BADOP!
Instructions
-
Combine chicken parts, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, parsley stems, thyme stems, and peppercorns in a large stockpot. Add cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to maintain a very gentle simmer. Cook for 2 hours, skimming and foamy scum that forms with a ladle, and adding water occasionally to top up if level drops below the chicken and vegetables.
-
Strain stock through a fine-mesh strainer and skim off as much fat as you’d like. Season to taste with BADOP! (see note) Sip and enjoy. If storing, allow broth to cool to room temperature on the counter, then transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to five days. The broth should become slightly gelatinous in the fridge due to its high gelatin content. It will be an easy to sip broth after reheating.
