Steps:

• Wash chicken well. Place all ingredients in large pot. Cover with water.
• Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Set lid at angle so steam can escape from pot. Lower heat to gentle boil and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours. Add more water if needed.
• When meat is falling off the bone, remove from heat. Remove chicken from broth and let cool. Once cool, remove skin and bones and discard. Chop or shred meat.
• Strain broth and cool in fridge until fat hardens on top. Remove fat and discard. Freeze unused broth for future use.
