Use an old laying hen with the soup chicken. It has more flavor, fat, firmer meat than broiler chicken. “When a whole chicken is cooked for a long time, free glutamate is produced, i.e. the flavor of the broth,” explains Prof. Dr. Guido Ritter. The scientific director of the Food Laboratory at Münster University of Applied Sciences developed the recipe for the test.
Here we remove the chicken breast. They become tough if cooked for hours, but can be made into another meal for four later.
Important: Pay attention to hygiene, raw meat can transmit germs (this is how you protect yourself from disease-causing agents).
