What each ingredient does

Chicken
Supplies the meat and the savoury juices that cook down into the broth.

The step that matters

Seal the jar before submerging it. A sealed jar traps the chicken's juices and stops moisture escaping, so the broth concentrates and tastes richer instead of diluted or dry.
