Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a classic pickle with chicken? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. You can use any part of the chicken for cooking. I have chicken thighs and some fillet. Peel and rinse the potatoes in advance. Soak the pearl barley for 20 minutes in cold water in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the chicken and place in a cooking pot. Fill with cold water and put on fire. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes. Then separate the meat from the bones and return it to the broth. Rinse the pearl barley several times in cold water. Then fill with clean water and cook in parallel with the chicken. It is better to cook the pearl barley separately so that the broth in the soup does not become cloudy. Bring the barley to a boil and cook for 25-30 minutes. Then drain in a colander.
