Equipment

  • 1 large stock pot with the lid
  • 1 Fine mesh strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1-2 celery ribs
  • ½ yellow onion, peeled
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6-8 whole peppercorns
  • 3-4 parsley sprigs
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more by taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large stock pot, add chicken thighs, carrot, celery, half of the onion, bay leaves, whole peppercorns, salt, apple cider vinegar and parsley. Fill the pot with water enough to cover the ingredients.
  • Bring the broth to boil and simmer on low for at least 1 hour. For even more flavorful and rich broth, cook it for 2 hours.
  • Discard the vegetables. Remove cooked chicken. Strain the broth in a mesh strainer if needed. Serve hot in a cup with extra salt and black pepper.

Notes

  • Simmer broth on the lowest heat for no less than 1 hour.
  • I used about 5-6 cups of water for 3 large chicken thighs.
  • I prefer to add salt individually for serving, so feel free to add more salt by taste to the pot.
