When cool enough to handle, remove chicken from carcass, reserving carcass, skin, pan juices and any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces; cover and refrigerate. Discard, carrots, celery and onion from pan.

In 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven or stockpot, place chicken bones, skin, all pan juices and any browned bits. Add broth ingredients; heat to boiling. Skim foam from broth; reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 30 minutes to develop flavors.

Carefully remove bones and skin from broth. Strain broth through fine-mesh strainer; discard strainer contents. Skim fat from broth. Use broth and chicken immediately, or cover and refrigerate broth and chicken in separate containers up to 24 hours or freeze up to 6 months.
