A recipe calls for homemade stock, but you don’t have all day to boil the bones of a flightless fowl. What’s a cook to do? Make some in a hurry. Fortunately it’s easy and takes only an hour or two. Best of all you can snack on some boiled chicken when you are done.
Ready
- 4 chicken thighs, I recommend air-chilled
- 6-8 cups water
- A few pinches of salt
Set
- Large pot
Go
- Pour the water into a pot, add the chicken and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer at a low boil for at least one hour.
- Add a few pinches of salt to bring out the flavor.
