Ingredients

1 whole chicken, about 6 pounds
1 yellow onions, chopped
2 whole carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
4 celery stalks, including leaves, cut into 4 inch pieces
4 whole garlic cloves
1 bunch of parsley
10 sprigs of thyme
5 sprigs of rosemary
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
water

Instructions

Place the chicken in the bottom of a large stock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients on top and around the chicken.
Cover everything completely with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once your water has come to a rolling boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Carefully remove the whole chicken from the pot. Shred and debone the chicken and use it as desired for recipes.
To strain the chicken stock, remove all of the ingredients from the pot using a slotted spoon. Carefully strain the chicken stock into a large container. Continue to strain if needed to remove any remaining ingredients.
Use the chicken stock as needed for recipes or store in the refrigerator for later use.
