Best Un Boiled Chicken Recipes

UN-BOILED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Fill a very large pot with water, enough to cover the chicken completely. You want a LOT of water. An 8 quart pot at least is best for ONE chicken or about 3 pounds of parts WITH bones. I do NOT recommend for boneless chicken, as the heat will not be able to penetrate the big pile of meat at the bottom of the pot.).
• Do not put the chicken in yet.
• Bring to a boil.
• Now put in the chicken.
• As soon as it STOPS boiling, take out the chicken.
• Return the water to a boil, then put the chicken back in and cover tightly.
• Turn off the heat but leave the pot on the burner.
• Leave it untouched for exactly ONE HOUR.
• Remove chicken from water.
• Let it cool just enough to handle, then debone your chicken.
• I've been making it this way for about 16 years now.
• You can use a whole chicken or parts.
• The large volume of water is important: I use a 15 quart stock pot, and do 2 chickens at one time.
• (then I save the skin& bones up in the freezer until I have a bunch, and use them to make broth).

Steps:

• Wash chicken well. Place all ingredients in large pot. Cover with water.
• Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Set lid at angle so steam can escape from pot. Lower heat to gentle boil and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours. Add more water if needed.
• When meat is falling off the bone, remove from heat. Remove chicken from broth and let cool. Once cool, remove skin and bones and discard. Chop or shred meat.
• Strain broth and cool in fridge until fat hardens on top. Remove fat and discard. Freeze unused broth for future use.
