By simmering along the chicken bones, this recipe brings all the health benefits of bone marrow broth. The bones are taken out at the end.

Step 1: Ingredients

1 pot, preferably an enameled cast iron one for more flavor

2 Tbp Olive oil
1 Onion
5 raw chicken legs
2 carrots
3 celery stalks
2 bay leaves
Salt & pepper

1 cup white wine
Flat parsley
6 white mushroom

Step 2: Chop the Onion

Chop one onion into small cubes.
Heat the pot (enameled cast iron if possible).
Add 1 Tsp olive oil.
Add the onion.
Stir until golden.

Step 3: Add the Chichen Legs

Add the raw chicken legs, turn them over until golden
Add the other 1 Tsp of oil if needed

Step 4: Add Bay Leaves+salt+pepper

Step 5: Deglaze Twice With White Wine (or Water)

As soon as the chicken legs start sticking to the pot, or the pot bottom starts browning, add 1/2 cup white wine or water to deglaze.

Place a lid until the liquid has evaporated.

Repeat again, until chicken is a nice beige golden color.

Start step 6 while you wait.
