Chicken Stock Recipe
Preparing the ingredients
Prepare 1kg of chicken breast and 2 kg of chicken bones. We would need 2 onions and garlic, cut into half. Prepare 2 bay leaf and 2 to 4 parsley leaves. To make the soup tastier, prepare either 1 yam bean or corn. Choose between yam bean and corn, do not mix.
Method of cooking
Once you have all the ingredients, start by cutting the chicken breast into cubes. As for the chicken bones, just cut it into pieces. Once done, peel the onions and garlic, and then cut them into half. Meanwhile, boil a large saucepan of water and cook the chicken for 1 minute. This is to help clear the raw meat smell in our chicken stock.
Prepare another large saucepan and put in the onions, garlic and chicken into it. Add in the bay leaf and parsley into it. Pour in water until it covers the ingredients. Heats up until it boil and then leave it to simmer. At this point, skim of any scum that rises to the surface with a spoon or a filter. Continue doing this until the soup is clear up. Once done, strain the stock into a large bowl and leave it to cold. You will be able to see the fat on the surface in a while and start removing the fat away. You can now store the chicken stock in a freezer for a few days before using it for cooking purposes.
