In order to cook the chicken, but not the broth , you need a young, preferably not a former freezer, and a fresh, just chilled bird. It is better that it is a meat breed of broilers, and not an ordinary domestic chicken, since it is still more suitable for broth. Heat the water to boiling, the amount should be more than just covering the bird, as the water will boil away, and it should cover the chicken until the very end of cooking.
Wash the chicken itself, inspect the remains of feathers and after boiling place in water. In order to boil the meat, it must be lowered only into boiling water, so all the pores are closed and less taste leaves the bird into the water. And if you put meat in cold water, and then cook, then you will get a delicious broth, but less delicious meat.
Wait for the second boil, collect the foam, put the vegetables, preparing them as follows: cut the onions into halves, carrots into three parts, celery need a piece of not more than 3 by 3 centimeters. Dill add directly tied in a bun, do not forget about salt and spices. And then reduce the temperature to a minimum, so that the water can barely boil. Cook the bird should from 40 to 60 minutes, if it's a broiler from a poultry farm, if it's a poultry and it's old, then the time can increase to 3 hours. And of course it still depends on the weight of the bird itself, but if you see that the meat is moving away from the bones, then it probably already cooked. You can also make a puncture with a fork, if the fork is easily entered into the thigh meat, then the chicken is cooked, this is also an indicator of readiness.
