Chicken Bone Broth Recipe

This recipe makes a delicious, rich chicken broth thats perfect for soups, stews, or as a flavorful base for other dishes. Heres how to prepare it step by step:

Ingredients

• 1 leftover chicken carcass, broken into pieces
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 6 cups water, or as needed to cover
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• tablespoon ground black pepper
• Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450F (230C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2: Place the chicken bones on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 3: Transfer the roasted chicken bones to a large, heavy stockpot. Add the chopped onion and enough water to cover the bones by about 2 inches.

Step 4: Stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 5: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the broth simmer, partially covered, with enough space left for steam to escape. Simmer for 4 to 5 hours, occasionally skimming off any froth or foam that forms on top with a large spoon.

Step 6: After 4-5 hours, remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot.

Step 7: Let the broth cool completely at room temperature, then store it in the refrigerator. Use within 5 days, or freeze for future use.
