Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- chicken bones
- oil
Hit the leftover chicken bones with a little oil and roast at 425 until deeply golden brown.
- ½ whole onion
- ½ whole fennel bulb
- 1 whole parsnip
- 1 whole carrot
- 1 stalks celery
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
Thinly slice the onion, fennel, parsnip, carrot and celery on a mandolin so the quick cook extracts as much flavour as possible; smash and peel the garlic cloves.
- bay leaves
- 1 tbsp peppercorns
- parsley
- water
Put everything but the reserved fat in the pressure cooker with the bay leaves, peppercorns, parsley stalks and water to the fill line; cook on high pressure one hour and let the pressure dissipate naturally.
- chicken skin
Cover the reserved chicken skin with a little water, bring to a boil and cook 15 to 20 minutes until the water evaporates and the skin fries in its own fat, adding more fat if needed, until completely crisp.
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 1 whole star anise
Strain the hot fat into a heatproof bowl and infuse it with a cinnamon stick and a star anise pod.
- 1 whole shallot
- garlic cloves
- chicken fat
Cover the thinly sliced shallot and garlic with chicken fat topped up with vegetable oil and heat gently until bubbling, frying slowly until golden brown and crisp.
- ¼ cup Virginia peanuts
- 1 tbsp cracked Szechuan peppercorns
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
Combine the chopped peanuts, cracked Szechuan peppercorns, sesame seeds, salt, sugar, finely chopped crispy chicken skin and chili flakes.
- chickichurri
Pour the fried vegetables and their hot fat over the spices and nuts; keep in the fridge and use within a day or two.
- 1 whole onion
- 2 whole parsnips
- 2 whole carrots
- 2 stalks celery
Heat the chickichurri or vegetable oil and saute the chopped onion, parsnips, carrots and celery until translucent.
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
In the last 30 seconds grate in the ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, then add the stock and bring to a simmer.
- chicken thighs and drumsticks
Add the skinned chicken thighs and drumsticks and simmer about 25 minutes until the meat pulls back from the bones; set aside to cool 10 minutes.
- pasta
Add the pasta to the pot, and while it cooks shred the chicken and chop it into bite-sized pieces before returning it.
- parsley
- tarragon
- dill
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Add chopped parsley and tarragon toward the end and the dill in the last two minutes, then season with kosher salt and black pepper.
