  2 1/2 lb Bone-in chicken thighs
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Pepper
      1 tb Oil
      1 lg Onion; chopped
      1 cl Garlic; minced
     10 c  Chicken broth
      4    Celery ribs; chopped
      4 md Carrots; chopped
      2    Bay leaves
      1 ts Minced fresh thyme

    1/4 ts Dried thyme
      8 oz Uncooked kluski noodles
      1 tb Chopped fresh parsley
      1 tb Lemon juice
 
  Pat chicken dry with paper towels; sprinkle with salt
  and pepper. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over
  medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches, skin side
  down; cook until dark golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove
  chicken from pan; remove and discard skin. Discard all
  but 2 tablespoons drippings.
  
  Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high
  heat until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1
  minute longer. Add broth, stirring to loosen browned
  bits from pan. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to pan.
  Add celery, carrots, bay leaves and thyme. Reduce heat;
  simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, 25-30 minutes.
  
  Transfer chicken to a plate. Remove soup from heat. Add
  noodles; let stand, covered, until noodles are tender,
  20-22 minutes.
  
  Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, remove
  meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat into
  bite-sized pieces. Return meat to stockpot. Stir in
  parsley and lemon juice. If desired, adjust seasoning
  with additional salt and pepper. Discard bay leaves.
