Notes

Liquid. I always strain the liquid and use it for future chicken stock. Though you can do this after eating and once it has cooled down.
Replace. Step one is an alternative if you don’t have your own chicken stock. You are basically flavouring your water with wine and seasonings. You can skip this if you have chicken stock available.
