Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Thoroughly rinse the chicken feet and remove the claws.

Step 3

Remove the third phalanx from the wings and trim excess fat from the shanks.

Step 4

Chop the chicken, remove the fat, and rinse it thoroughly inside.

Step 5

Place everything in a pot and cover with cold water so that the chicken meat is submerged by two fingers.

Step 6

Put on the heat, bring to a boil, skim off the foam, boil for 2 minutes, drain the water, rinse the meat, and wash the pot to remove any coagulated protein.

Step 7

Add 3.5 liters of clean water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, leave the lid off, and simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Add onion, whole peppercorns, carrot, and a little salt, periodically skimming off the fat from the surface, and cook for 2.5 hours.

Step 8

Remove the chicken, discard the feet and onion, and keep the carrot for decoration.

Step 9

Shred the meat into fibers.

Step 10

If necessary, adjust the seasoning of the broth, and strain it several times. If the broth is fatty, place a paper towel folded in half over the cheesecloth; the fat will settle on it.
