What it is
This is a liquid base made from simmering chicken bones, vegetables, and aromatics. It provides a savory foundation for many dishes. The process extracts flavor and body from the ingredients, resulting in a rich, clear liquid. It is a convenient way to add depth of flavor without starting from scratch. This particular size is useful for smaller recipes or when you only need a small amount.
