Getting Started
- Always roast your chicken bones and vegetables until deeply caramelized before simmering. This Maillard reaction develops profound savory notes that simmering alone cannot achieve.
- After initial roasting, maintain a very gentle simmer (barely a bubble) in the oven or on the stovetop. High heat emulsifies fats and can lead to a cloudy, greasy broth.
- Skim off any foam or scum that rises to the surface during the first hour of simmering. This ensures a clearer, cleaner-tasting broth.
- Strain your finished broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. This removes all solids, resulting in a pristine liquid.
