Also add a little black pepper and 4 tablespoons of vinegar , and if you prefer, also a pinch of paprika . Mix everything with your hands. Meanwhile, take four onions, which you will cut into thin strips, and a bunch of parsley, which you will chop finely.
Combine the two ingredients at this point. Meanwhile, take a clean, dry glass jar, preferably one liter in capacity, and start putting onion and chopped parsley inside. Next, add the previously prepared chicken thighs.
Once this is done and the legs have been placed in glass jars (as many as you consider necessary), close them tightly with their lids . At this point, get a rather large pot with a cloth towel or piece of cloth in the bottom of it and place the jars of chicken on it.
Fill the pot with water until it covers the jar and put the pot on the heat and the water to boil. Cook over low heat for 5 or 6 hours and let cool. Et voila, everything is ready.
You will see that a gelatinous meat broth will be created in your jars, allowing you to keep your chicken out of the fridge for up to 12 months . Did you know this technique? It is one of the most used by chefs to avoid waste in the kitchen.
