I make chicken bone broth using the traditional method of roasting the bones to draw out the marrow, followed by a slow simmer, using seasonings and vinegar to help draw out flavor.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • aluminum foil

  • 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

  • ½ tablespoon ground black pepper

Directions

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

  2. Place chicken bones onto the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Roast bones in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  4. Gently transfer bones from the baking sheet into a large, heavy stockpot. Add onion and enough water to cover bones by 2 inches. Add vinegar, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, leaving enough space for steam to escape, 4 to 5 hours. Check occasionally for froth or foam that develops on top of water, removing it with a large spoon.

  5. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot. Allow to cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator and use within 5 days or freeze until ready to use.
