Chicken Broth

Ingredients:
chicken, broilers or fryers, wing, meat and skin, raw

Directions:
Place the chicken parts in a pot large enough to hold them submerged as they cook.
Add water to cover by 2 inches and bring just to a boil over medium heat.
Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer (dont let it boil at full speed or you will have murky broth), partially cover the pot, and cook for 1 hour.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cool completely.
Or, cool completely in the pot, then strain into storage containers.
Refrigerate uncovered until chilled.
Without removing the fat, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks (if the fat seal is not broken) or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Just before using, lift off the layer of solidified fat from the surface.
