Chicken Stock Recipe
I found out that boiling hen should only be used for making chicken stock in a nearly embarrassing way.
I was new in Melbourne and wanted to contribute to a potluck organized by some newly found friends. Conscious of my budget, I went to the Queen Victoria Market to buy some ingredients for a nice chicken stew. I noticed that the boiling hens were much cheaper than the normal ones. Not knowing what they were and too smart to ask the shop assistant, I bought one for my stew.
The stew came out great but the chicken was so tough, I nearly broke my teeth. I saw people taking the stew and the vegetables but the chicken ...
Fortunately nobody asked me why the chicken was so tough. Phew!
