Method   Step 1 If you are using dried chickpeas, put them in a large bowl to soak in three times their volume of water (about 3 cups), as they will double in size. Stir in one tsp of baking soda to soften them and therefore help reduce their cooking time. Soak overnight. Step 2 Rinse the chickpeas under cold water, put them in a saucepan, cover with fresh water and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 1 hour, or until they are tender. Drain and set aside.  Step 3 Put the chicken and bones (if using) in the same saucepan, add 1.
