Answer
If the chicken pieces have bones in them it will take about 2 hours for the chicken to get tender. If the pieces are boneless it will boil in about 45 minutes. If this chicken is whole it may take 2 - 3 hours.
Addendum: The above times should result in a cooked but pretty dried out chicken. Most recipies call for bringing the chicken to a boil and then simmering for around 45 minutes (give or take 10 on the size of the bird). Another method would be to boil for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and let sit in the water for approx. 1 hour. This last method is especially common in Asian cooking when you are going to further cook the meat (stir fry or other use).
answer usually about 2-3 hours if you want it just right always perfectly deleicous
