Ingredients

either serve it as poached chicken, or remove the skin, take the meat from the bones, and use it for other dishes such as chicken salad, hash, chicken pie, or creamed chicken, etc. Strain the broth through several thicknesses of cheesecloth into a bowl; let cool, then skim off the fat. You now have 2 litre of beautifully rich, strong broth which can be used for cooking. Should you want to reduce it even more, and clarify it for consomme' ... see the recipe: Chicken Consomme' by James Beard. For chicken consomme' the broth must be absolutely fat-free and clear. Therefore, it's important that you strain the above through several thicknesses of cheesecloth, let cool, and skim off all the fat.
