Chicken Broth UPDATE
The chicken broth recipe (left) is an easy way to make a large pot of broth and will be deep in taste and texture. Current recommendation suggest that you skip washing your chicken and increase time to at least 2 hours or more. Another way simple way to extract a lighter broth from a chicken is to bake a whole fryer, use the breast meat for a meal, and then use the once-baked bones and meat as a base for broth. Purchase a large chicken and follow baking instructions. I like to stuff my chicken and bale like I would a Thanksgiving turkey. Check out the stuffed baked chicken recipe in the Delicious Memories cookbook. See below for preparation tips for once-baked chicken bone broth.
