Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by removing any giblets from the cavity and rinsing the chicken inside and out.
- Place the chicken in a large pot and add enough water to cover it completely. Add salt, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and peppercorns.
- Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the broth, and let it cool slightly before handling. Strain the broth through a strainer or cheesecloth and reserve for use in soups and sauces.
