How to Make Golden and Crystal Clear Chicken Broth

Experienced cooks advise to take a whole chicken carcass for the broth. For 1 kg of chicken meat you will need 5 liters of water.

All internal parts of the chicken should be removed, fat should be removed, and then the carcass should be rinsed well under cold running water. Another trick for a clean as a tear chicken broth is to cook it on a quiet "bubbling" boil.

What spices and vegetables to add for taste and aroma

Chicken broth is perfectly complemented by carrots, celery stalks, onions and a couple of champignons. All of the listed ingredients should be lightly fried in a dry frying pan beforehand.

The best seasonings for meat broth are black peppercorns, bay leaves, parsley and dill.

And one more secret: seasonings and vegetable additives are added strictly after the broth has boiled. Before that, it is necessary to remove all foam and excess fat.
