Simmer Low Simmer uncovered for 45–55 minutes until chicken is completely fall-off-the-bone tender. The broth should deepen in color and flavor.

Pull & Return Remove chicken pieces with tongs. Let cool for a few minutes until handleable. Pull meat off the bones, discard skin and bones. Return shredded meat to the pot. Taste broth and season generously with salt and pepper.
