Chicken Stock in the Crock Pot
Make your own homemade chicken broth using leftover chicken bones in your slow cooker.
Equipment
Ingredients
- Chicken bones leftover from a whole chicken
- Water enough to fully cover the bones
- 3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 10 Peppercorns
- Celery stalks leftover, stored in freezer
Instructions
- Put the leftover chicken bones from a whole chicken in the slow cooker along with the juices, fat, etc.
- Cover with water up to about an inch below the top of the slow cooker. Add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, about 10 peppercorns and some celery from the freezer (and parsley, if I have it).
- Turn the slow cooker on high and let it cook for several hours. Before I go to bed, I turn the temperature to low and let it cook all night. You can cook it anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.
- Turn the slow cooker off and let it cool for a bit. Then strain the stock.
- Use the stock right away or freeze it for later.
