CHICKEN BROTH | How to Make It At Home

Chicken broth is very similar to stock, but it's made from both the meat and bones of a chicken. A stock is prepared from bones only. Since whole chickens are inexpensive and more readily available, a broth it what makes sense to prepare at home. This video will walk you through the step-by-step process on how to make chicken broth at home.

One of my subscribers (thanks John G) pointed out that he saves the broth fat instead of tossing it. It's very flavorful and can be used to cook in place of other fats. If you decide to do this just make sure to separate and toss (or add back to your broth) any moisture from the fat before storing it. Otherwise, it will shorten the fat's life span. Personally, I don't save this fat because the yield isn't large enough (less than 1/4 Cup) to warrant my time in separating it, however, the seasoned fat from a roasted chicken is something I can't give up.

I'm 12 years old and my mom is teaching me how to cook and I think I'm gonna surprise her using this amazing recipe. Thanks a Lot!

Never thought to break down the chicken before making stock. Makes sense! More surface area is good.

The way you instructed in this video is so well done! A very clear and calm tone that I definitely prefer over extremely upbeat and intense music in the background. I just had to subscribe! Amazing presentation :D

I’ve watched a dozen videos in chicken stock and this has been the best video.

I was so confused between chicken broth & stock. Thank you for the clear understand of the recipe.

Yay!
I was looking for simple, straightforward instructions for using a whole chicken my neighbor gave me. I want to make chicken noodle soup. I've done it before just 'winging' it from what I can remember my Mom doing when I was little. I've been trying to develop my cooking skills, though, so I decided to research a bit. So many videos using ingredients, tools, and patience I don't have 🙄
This is exactly what I was looking for... simple. I also learned a few things that will definitely help!
Thanks so much!

Thanks for cutting it slow. I remember watching Yan can cook. Had to rewind so many times and I still couldn’t get it when I was learning how to cook in the late 80’s.

EXCELLENT presentation!!! Thank you for keeping it easy and clear....you are a great teacher!!! I feel like I have enough confidence to try making chicken broth myself now....I was very sick one winter and a friend made me some and it cured me so now that I'm retiring I want to make it for friends and family...so glad I found your video....thank you, again!!

Love the added commentary with extra information and jokes

[maxinetv]

I just tried your chicken broth recipe and it's cooking on the stove [as I write this]. I love your video and can't wait to see how it turned out! I learned a lot of new things here to take my broth to another level. Never used a cheesecloth before (just a stainless steel strainer), and haven't skimmed the surface of the broth in the past. I did everything you recommend in the video for this one, though. I look forward to checking out your other videos. Subscribed and tagged you on my IG stories. Thank you so much!

Thank you. I am in the process of making my own. I always like to use the whole chicken because as you said, you can make other delicious recipes with the meat. The other recipes I found were using chicken feet and chicken bones, not exactly what I was looking for. Glad I was on the right track with ingredients though. Except mine has whole garlic cloves and more carrots and celery than you recommend. It's all good. Thanks again.

Just like Mom and Grandmas! Thank you. Just needed a refresher.

First time watching and I could use your vids like an ASMR everytime before I sleep. Calm, soothing, informative.

Delicious and nutritious Chef. I used One chicken equals approximately rendering 2 quarts of filtered/scimmed Broth? Did I use enough filtered water?

[Bundaberg]

Thank you!!! I literally had an argument about this with somebody i said they used the bones as well to make the broth and they just didn’t want to hear it 🤦🏻‍♀️

[jennifercline]

Nice and simple, perfect. I don't have a whole chicken but was able to find a large package of chicken thighs on sale so trying that. I also have a package of chicken feet so it gels up. I like that you don't add a bunch of veggies or other items(I leave out onion in broth).

[Rdz]

Your instructions are great! I have an additional question, is the total cooking time 10 hrs? Thanks! I’m going to try this recipe this week.

[robbypeke]

very interesting and in detailed procedure.

[itsmeSriKiwi]

Thank you. I just made the first chicken broth. It was easy.
