The first part of this video features my chicken broth recipe and the second part features my chicken stock recipe. The difference between chicken broth and chicken stock is the cut of chicken used. Chicken meat is used to make broth and chicken bones are used to make chicken stock/bone broth. In this video, I start with chicken legs to make the chicken broth and then use the bones from the legs to make a rich chicken stock. This technique is easy as bone-in chicken meat is readily available and chicken bones might be hard to come by. Try my hearty chicken stock and use it to add depth to soups, sauces and curries!

RECIPE (1L/4 cups)
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb/450 g chicken legs or large bone-in chicken pieces
1.5L-2.5L (6-10 cups) cold water
1 carrot
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
2 whole dried cloves
1 celery stem
1 leek
1 tsp salt

CHICKEN BROTH:
1. Place chicken legs and 1.5L (6 cups) cold water in a deep pot. Cold water is important for even cooking and extraction of maximum flavour
2. Set the pot on medium heat for 5 minutes. The water will first look cloudy and then the impurities will collect as foam at the top
3. When the foam has formed, remove it with the help of a ladle/slotted spoon/strainer. This step is essential to keep the broth clear
4. Once all the foam is skimmed, add the vegetables (chopped in large chunks), dried cloves and 1 tsp salt
5. Let it gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through (30-40 mins. Check if the chicken is cooked by poking it. If the juices run clear, it means that it’s ready
6. When the chicken is cooked, your chicken broth is ready! Remove the chicken from the broth and use as required or follow the below steps to make chicken stock

CHICKEN STOCK:
7. Separate the chicken meat from the bones. The chicken meat can be used in soups, salads, sandwiches, stir fries or wraps
8. Add the bones back to the chicken broth along with 1L (4 cups) of water
9. Simmer it for 1 hour to extract all the goodies from the bones. The stock would be rich and gelatinous at the end of 1 hour
10. Let the chicken broth cool down and strain it into airtight containers. This can be stored in the refrigerator upto 5 days and in the freezer upto 3 months
11. After refrigeration, the stock might have a jelly like texture. This is normal and an indicator or a well made stock

TIPS:
• Always start with cold water to evenly cook the chicken and extract maximum flavour
