Poached chicken
0 Likes
Total Time:
1 hour 55 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 2 large onions
  • 1-2 leeks
  • 4 celery stalks
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 x 1.7 kg free-range chicken
  • 3-4 fresh bay leaves
  • 3 sprigs of fresh tarragon
  • 1 large bunch of fresh parsley (or just stalks if you’re using leaves for something else)
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Instructions:
  • Peel and halve the onions, chop the leeks, celery, and carrots into large chunks, and halve the garlic bulb. Place all ingredients in a large pan with a pinch of sea salt, cover with cold water, and bring to a gentle boil. Skim off any scum, then simmer for about 1 hour until juices run clear when meat is pierced. Remove bird, simmer poaching liquid for 40 minutes to reduce by one-third. For more flavor, strip meat from chicken, return bones to stock. Strain the stock and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
