- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 large Onion
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 large Carrot
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 12 cups Water
Instructions
Peel and quarter the onion. Crush the garlic cloves without peeling to release their aroma.
Peel and slice the carrots into large pieces. Cut the celery stalks into large chunks.
In a large pot, combine the chicken drumsticks, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and parsley.
Add the bay leaves, black peppercorns, and sea salt to the pot.
Pour in enough water to submerge all the ingredients, approximately 12 cups.
Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
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.
Remove the chicken drumsticks from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Optionally, strain the broth and serve it as a flavorful soup or reserve for future use.
