Homemade Chicken Polony Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 chicken thighs
• 3 carrots, roughly cut
• 6 cloves roasted garlic
• 1/2 large onion, roughly cut
• 1 stalk of celery
• 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon chili flakes
• 3 sachets of gelatin
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning or any spice of choice
• Salt, to taste
• Beetroot juice (optional, for color)

Instructions:

1. Place the chicken thighs in a pot along with carrots, celery, onions, black peppercorns, bay leaf, Cajun spice, and salt. Pour enough water to cover the chicken.
2. Bring the mixture to a slow simmer and cook until the chicken is fully cooked.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and shred it into smaller pieces, ensuring all bones are removed. Reserve the chicken broth and do not discard it.
4. Skim off the fat from 2 cups of the chicken broth. Mix the gelatin with the broth, whisking until it dissolves completely according to the instructions on the gelatin packet.
5. In a blender, combine the liquid, shredded chicken, and roasted garlic. Blend until smooth.
6. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Optional: Add beetroot juice for color.
8. Pour the mixture into a mold and refrigerate until set, approximately 6 hours.
