👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Put the chicken and the water in a large pot, bring to a boil and skim off the foam with a spoon. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in large pieces and the turmeric, season with salt and black pepper and bring back to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer at a gentle bubble uncovered 45 minutes.

    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  2. 2
    Remove the chicken from the pot, separate the meat from the skin and bones and cut into pieces.
