Aromatic chicken broth is a tasty and healthy dish, but not all housewives can cook it properly.
Sometimes poultry broth ends up being watery and not very interesting, but this can be easily corrected.
What tricks will help with this?
Selecting a bird
You shouldn't make broth with a standard boiler chicken: such a bird is not suitable for broth. If you are lucky, you should use a farm chicken.
If you can't afford to buy such a bird, then opt for a standard soup chicken. It is ideal for making broth, although it takes much longer to cook.
Proportions
In order for the broth to be moderately rich and high-quality, you need to correctly calculate the proportions of water. For this, it is customary to take about five liters per carcass.
It is worth considering that about 2 liters of water will evaporate.
It is better to pour five liters per carcass at once than to add liquid later. In this case, the broth turns out much richer.
Other components
In order for the broth to be tasty, aromatic and rich, you need to introduce certain components. For example, you can add onions and carrots.
By the way, you can pre-fry the vegetables. You can also add dried mushrooms.
Spices
If we are talking about spices, then it would be most reasonable to introduce bay leaves with allspice, and also add a little clove.
Experienced cooks also add rosemary and thyme.
