  • 2 celery sticks, sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, bruised
  • 1.3kg free-range chicken
  • 1 brown onion, quartered
  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 3 fresh continental parsley sprigs
  • 1 fresh bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1.20 gm salt

Instructions:
  • In a large heavy-based stockpot, combine leek, carrot, celery, and garlic with chicken, onion, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns, salt, 3.5L (14 cups) of water, and vinegar. Cover and simmer over low heat for 3 hours, skimming the surface every 30 minutes.
