Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lbs chicken bones like chicken backs, or rotisserie chicken bones
- 1 1/2 lb chicken feet
- 6 stalks celery
- 4 carrots
- 1 large yellow onion
- 8–10 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Place the chicken bones and chicken feet in a large stockpot. Add the carrots, celery, and onion to the pot.
- Pour 8 cups of filtered water into the pot, ensuring all the ingredients are covered. Add sea salt and apple cider vinegar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 2-12 hours. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during cooking. The longer the cook time the richer the broth.
- Once the broth is done, remove the bones and vegetables. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl.
- Allow the broth to cool to room temperature, then store it in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Storing in the refrigerator: Transfer the bone broth to an airtight container and place in the fridge for up to about 5 days.
- To freeze: You can store bone broth in the freezer for up to 6 months. It’s a good idea to separate it into smaller portions before freezing it, so then you can just grab what you need.
- Reheating: Reheat gently on a low simmer on the stove or in the microwave. Be sure not to boil it!
