Put the chicken, washed inside and out, in a large saucepan, distribute all the ingredients all around, pour cold water on until everything is covered and bring to the boil. Let simmer gently for 2 hours. Then lift the chicken out and use it for another dish, e.g. fricassee.
Strain the broth through a fine sieve.
Poultry stock:
For the stock, do not put the chicken on cold, but cut it into several parts and roast them brown in the oven at high temperatures. After a while, add the vegetables and roast them, making sure that nothing burns, so turn them over and over again. Then deglaze with the wine and put everything with the spices in a saucepan, fill up with water and simmer gently for 2 hours. Then pass the liquid.
Broths and stocks are essential for good sauces and soups.
