Chicken Broth

Chicken broth is a clear, savory liquid made by simmering chicken bones and meat with aromatics. It has a light body and gentle chicken aroma, tasting clean and lightly salty, and it reduces well without clouding. Cooks use it to make soups, cook grains, braise vegetables or meats, and deglaze pans; it is sold canned, boxed, or as concentrates.

Broths appear across many culinary traditions, with chicken versions prominent in European, East Asian, and Latin American cuisines. Commercial production typically pressure-cooks chicken parts with vegetables, then filters and adjusts salt for consistent flavor.
