Method 7 steps
In a large pot, simmer chicken or parts until completely cooked.
Turn heat to medium, then remove chicken from water and allow to cool.
Remove chicken from bone if using whole chicken or bone-in parts.
Using a meat grinder, grind the cooked chicken. Alternatively, cut into small pieces.
Add chicken back to chicken stock. If using skinless chicken parts, add chicken broth.
Add butter, evaporated milk, and enough milk to fill the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir well.
Serve in bowls, adding hot sauce as desired, with crumbled saltines mixed in.
