Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs chicken bones
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 2 medium onions quartered
- 4 cloves garlic with skin on
- 1 bay leaf
- small bunch of fresh thyme leaves parsley, rosemary if available
- salt and pepper to taste
- 10-12 cups water
Instructions
- Add the chicken bones and/or carcass to the middle of a 6-quart slow cooker. Scatter chopped vegetables around the bones in the crockpot insert. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add the garlic cloves, bay leaf, and fresh herbs.
- Pour water into the crockpot to cover the bones. It's okay if the water level is within an inch of the top. Cook on low for at least 8 hours, or until the broth has reached a beautiful golden color.
- Remove the larger pieces of bones and vegetables with a slotted spoon and discard them. Then, strain the broth in the slow cooker using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a clearer broth into a bowl.
- Transfer the bone broth into jars and cool. Then refrigerate for up to 3 days and freezer in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
