Ingredients
1
, 3 1/2
1 onion
, peeled and quartered
1 rib celery
, cut in chunks
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cloves garlic
, lightly smashed
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 quartss cold water
, or more as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Place chicken, onion, and celery in a Dutch oven. Sprinkle salt over the top of the chicken.
3
Roast chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink inside, the skin is browned, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 45 minutes to 1 hour.
4
Transfer chicken to a plate until cool enough to handle. Once cool, pick the meat from the bones; set aside chicken breast meat in a bowl for another purpose. Cover bowl of breast meat with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Discard chicken skin.
5
Remove chicken fat from Dutch oven, leaving the brown flavor bits in the bottom of the Dutch oven. (See note for reserving drippings if desired.)
6
Place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Return chicken bones and dark meat from drumsticks and thighs to the pot. Add garlic cloves, ketchup and cold water. Bring to a boil, and use a spoon to scrape up and dissolve the brown flavor bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours, adding more water if needed to retain same level.
7
As broth simmers, occasionally skim off and discard any foam that rises to the surface.
8
Remove and discard bones, meat and vegetables. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve to serve or use in recipes.
