I like Better than Bouillon and used that as my base and then threw in onion, thyme, black pepper, red pepper, bay leaf, parsley, some seasoned salt, and a few splashes of Maggi as is my way. Whatever sounds good to you and you have on hand and like I said before, I over season the water because boiling meat. I've also never done anything other than thighs or drums so dunno how that will turn out.
