Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 1000 g chicken backs
- 750 g chicken feet
- 3 whole chicken leg quarters (optional)
Lay the chicken bones on a sheet tray and roast at 425F for about 25 minutes, just enough to make them taste more chickeny.
- 200 g leeks
- 400 g carrots
- 300 g celery
Cut the leeks, carrots and celery to the small side of a medium dice.
- 1 cup water
- 3 boxes store-bought chicken stock
Put the roasted bones in the pressure cooker, deglaze the sheet tray with about a cup of water and add that, then pour in the store-bought chicken stock.
- 4 whole boneless skinless chicken thighs
- salt
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with a generous pinch of salt and let them sit about 30 minutes.
- 225–300 g egg noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a simmer, season it strongly with salt and cook the egg noodles until tender.
- 3 packets powdered gelatin
- 30 g better than bouillon chicken base
Strain the stock and skim most of the excess chicken fat off the top with a ladle or paper towels.
- chicken fat
Cook the leeks, carrots and celery in a little of the reserved chicken fat with a big pinch of salt, sweating about five minutes.
Drop in the salted thighs one at a time, lower the heat and poach gently 15 to 17 minutes until the meat shreds without much effort.
Turn off the heat, shred the thighs, run a knife through the shredded meat once or twice and stir it gently back into the soup.
- black pepper
Serve over the precooked egg noodles in a deep bowl and top with a ton of black pepper.
