Recipe Notes

Terminology

Chicken Broth:

Chicken broth is made from cooking chicken meat in water. All meat is discarded after cooking and you are left with a flavourful broth.

Chicken stock:

Chicken stock is made from cooking chicken meat and bones in water and tends to have a fuller mouth feel and richer flavour than broth, due to the gelatine released by long-simmering bones.

Pinch:

Pinch refers to an amount too small to measure, generally 1/16 of a teaspoon or less. Called a pinch because it is small enough to hold between your thumb and forefinger.
