Rinse the chicken under cold running water. Place in a large pot, add all the chopped vegetables, garlic, onion, bay leaves, allspice berries, and peppercorns to the pot. Pour in the water and slowly bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer and let cook for approx. 2 hrs.
