Instructions
- 1
Combine the chicken thighs, drumsticks, chicken broth, and water in a large 6-quart pot. Add the halved onion, smashed garlic, and scallions. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook, skimming any foam that rises to the surface, for 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part not touching bone.

Using tongs, transfer the chicken pieces to a cutting board and set aside to cool slightly. Discard the onion halves, garlic, and scallions from the broth.
