How best to cook chicken jelly
The fastest way to cook aspic is in a pressure cooker. All preparation takes 5 minutes of preparation of products and 20 minutes of their processing after cooking. The pressure cooker or multi-cooker will do everything by itself: 1 hour of cooking and 1 hour the pressure cooker will continue cooking at a slowly falling pressure.
The slowest way is in a saucepan, because in addition to a long time, the jelly needs regular monitoring: is there too much foam, is there too little water left in the pan, is the fire too small. However, the method of cooking in a saucepan remains the most common.
You can take any fatty chicken for jellied meat – thighs, legs, and additionally add more noble meat – beef or pork.
You can make the aspic even firmer by adding a few chicken feet to the chicken. You just need to process them first: cut off the claws, cut off the rough skin, and soak in salted water for several hours.
