Roughly chop the celery stalks, carrots, and leek into large pieces. Quarter the onions and crush the garlic cloves with the side of the knife.

Step 2/3

• 1 whole chicken
• 2 bay leaves
• 5 allspice berries

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.
