1. First, lets cook chicken broth. A chicken back, one drumstick or a chicken leg quarter will be fine. Wash the poultry, pour it over with two litres of product water and put it over the low heat. Remove the foam with a slotted spoon to get clear broth and boil it for 30 -40 minutes. Then take the chicken out of the broth.
