frequently, over Medium-High, add the chicken and cook until the
chicken flesh is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Pour in the

boi. Boil for 5 minutes. As foam accumulates, skim it off and
discard. Lower the heat to simmer and add the thyme. Simmer, covered

liquid. Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the chicken and allow to
cool, then pick the meat from the bones and reserve for another use.
Strain the stock and discard the vegetables and bay leaves. Cool to
room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Lift any congealed
fat from the stock and discard. Stor for 2-3 days in the refrigerator
or freeze for longer storage.=
