For those who haven't seen this, or perhaps those new to the list, check
out this article by Adamantius with more info along this line:

local butcher.
>>> Parboil your chickens before cooking, and buy a couple of extra birds. Then serve chicken soup as needed. (free tip. Treat accordingly.)<<<
How long do you need to parboil the chickens before you get a usable broth?
Perhaps I'm thinking of too short of boil, when "parboiling". Yes, I think
we've discussed Stefan's confusion on this previously. :-) On the otherhand,
if these chickens are meant to be used elsewhere in the dinner, I assume
you don't want to boil out all the chicken taste.
