- Discard the water and wash the bones.
- Top up the bones with more water and let it come up to a boil on high flame.
- Reduce to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 hours ( longer the better).
- You might have to keep topping up the water as it will get reduced with time.
- Once it is done, turn off the flame and separate the chicken pieces, strain the stock to get rid of any small bone pieces.
- Debone the meat from the bones and add it back to the stock.
