Ingredients
Makes about 3 quarts
Step 1
Place chicken, celery, onion, cilantro, carrots, lemongrass, chiles de árbol, guajillo chiles, jalapeños, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, and coriander in a large stockpot. Add cold water to cover, then bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, occasionally skimming fat and foam from surface, 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet; simmer stock 30 minutes longer.
Step 2
Once chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and shred meat (you should have about 4 cups); discard bones and skin.
Step 3
Let stock cool, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids.
Do Ahead
Step 4
Stock can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.

Back to TopSo, I definitely wouldn’t follow this exactly. I don’t think 30 minutes is remotely close to creating a broth. That said, this ingredient list is amazing. I have had success roasting a chicken and then, after removing the meat, making an outrageous broth. So, I would roast the chicken (a larger chicken), then take the meat off, then put the carcass and the skin into the water with all these fantastic ingredients. Now, that’s going to give me a fabulous broth together with some seriously great chicken. We can take it from there.

The stock I made from this recipe was bland. That may be because I didn't press the solids like the recipe calls for. It may also be because the chicken is only in the pot for 30 min. I will try the recipe again, maybe with wings and chicken backs, etc so I don't mind ruining the meat by boiling it for a full hour.

This spicy chicken stock recipe is amazing! And, even with all the ingredients, it was simple to make. I have to admit that I didn't use the dried chiles called for, I had spicy peppers from my garden that I used instead.
