yes and no, it is filtered to remove more of the fat and has spices and herbs added for flavor and a lot of salt. Chicken boiled in water is just that chicken boiled in water.
To make Chicken broth you can use a whole chicken or parts of the chicken. I use the backs as this is the part not many like to eat but it has a lot of meat on it. I save them in the freezer until I have 10 or so.
Put chicken in large pot, add enough water to cover.
Add whole or chopped it doesn't matter,
1 onion, 2 stalks of celery, 2 carrots, 1Tlb minced or 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning or sage, 2-3 tsp salt.
Bring to boil stirring occasionally, reduce heat, cover and simmer for a couple of hours. Stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, remove chicken to platter or dish let cool until your able to handle to remove meat and discard the skin and bones. As for the broth let it cool enough to handle as well, then pour it through a sieve or strainer to remove vegetables and any large seasoning left in it. Let cool completely then remove fat from top and discard the fat You can also add ice cubes to it to help fat solidify.
This is better then store bought but store bought works when you don't have time to cook. Freeze the broth in quart size bags to use whenever you need it.
