Directions on cooking the chicken:
I started with a whole young chicken, about 4-5 pounds and it works perfectly. I placed the chicken in a large stockpot and fill it with tepid water. I added 1 medium onion quartered. A couple of carrots roughly chopped, Kosher salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and EVOO. Over medium-high heat let the chicken cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until the chicken starts to fall off the bone. Once finished remove chicken from the pot and set on a large dish to cool. When cool enough to handle debone carcass and chop chicken. Also, you can freeze the stock for use later once it cools. Next, I prepared the veggies.
