Please download and install Flash Player to see this video.

Directions

Organic chicken fat was traditionally considered to be very healing. This recipe is also good because you can use the poached chicken meat to make Myanmar Chicken Salad, and other recipes.

Method:
Place the chicken, carrots, onions and celery into your pot and add enough cold water to cover. Add the vinegar. Bring to a boil. As it begins to simmer some foam will rise to the top. This foam should be skimmed as other impurities will rise with the foam.

Then add the peppercorns and bay leaves and allow to simmer over low heat for about an hour. Do not allow it to come to a full boil.

Remove chicken from broth, allow to cool slightly and remove chicken meat from bones. Return the bones to the broth and allow to simmer for another 4-5 hours. Add the parsley about 10 minutes before turning off the heat. Strain and cool.

You can reduce the chicken stock more to create demi-glace if you have no room in your fridge, later you can just add water to create chicken stock.
