One hour before the end of the preparation of the base for jelly, put a whole head of white onion into the broth. The added vegetable will make the dish more fragrant and tasty. Also, chicken jelly (photo can be seen in the presented article) will turn out more beautiful if you add boiled carrots to it, which you want to place in the broth at the same time as the onion head.

Next, the meat should be freed from the bones andsplit into small fibers. After that, you need to take deep dishes, put chicken pieces, beautifully chopped carrots, fresh herbs, half eggs in them, and then pour all the products with a rich and fragrant broth.
