Crafting the Broth (60-90 minutes): In a large stockpot, place the chicken carcass (or chicken thighs, if using) and any leftover skin, meat, and bones. Cover generously with cold water. Add the bay leaf. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 60 to 90 minutes, allowing the broth to develop a rich, savory depth. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve. Shred any chicken meat from the carcass or thighs and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
