📝 Instructions

9 steps
1

Peel and quarter the onion. Crush the garlic cloves without peeling to release their aroma.

2

Peel and slice the carrots into large pieces. Cut the celery stalks into large chunks.

3

In a large pot, combine the chicken drumsticks, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and parsley.

4

Add the bay leaves, black peppercorns, and sea salt to the pot.

5

Pour in enough water to submerge all the ingredients, approximately 12 cups.

6

Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken drumsticks are fully cooked and tender.

8

Remove the chicken drumsticks from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

9

Optionally, strain the broth and serve it as a flavorful soup or reserve for future use.
