1. Place Chicken on a tray - season well and place in the oven at 180'C for 90 minutes.

Step 2

2. Cut all your vegetables into cube sizes (not need to be precise as their going to be discarded), place all vegetables into a large bowl -- with the exception of the red onion and mushrooms. (Red Onion and mushroom should be sauteed in the olive oil before added to the broth)

Step 6

6. Add the chicken bones to your stockpot for a further 90/120 minutes. (remember to skim the fat).

Step 7

7. Shred the chicken.(at this point your stock should be slowly simmering for 3 hours)

Step 8

8. Carefully sieve your stock through a sieve (3 times) to remove all the vegetables and make sure your stock will have that pure clarity.

Step 9

9. Either in a new stockpot or wash the one you used return the pure stock into it.(this may need an extra litre of chicken stock at this point, judge for who is having this or freezing for later).
