Slice the breast meat off the chickens by cutting along both sides of each breastbone, across the ribcage, and down to the wing joints. Remove the meat and save it for another meal, reserving the skin for chicken tea.

Place the whole chickens and the skin from the breasts into 1 extra-large pot or 2 standard (5 1/2- to 6-quart) pots. Divide the carrots, celery, and onions between the pots, then add the garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Fill each pot to the top with cold water.

Set the pots over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, watching closely. Immediately lower the heat to low. Skim off any foam from the surface with a spoon. Adjust the heat to keep a very gentle simmer where only small bubbles break the surface. Continue simmering for 8 to 12 hours.

Use a slotted spoon to move the solids into a strainer set over a large bowl; discard the chunks and pour the strained broth back into a pot. Combine all the liquid in one pot. Strain the broth again through a fine-mesh strainer into the emptied pot.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming the fat from the top; boil until reduced by half. Turn off the heat and season with salt, tasting and adjusting as needed.

Strain the broth through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag into a container. Serve steaming hot in a pot as you would tea, or let it cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
