Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken bones (about 2 roasted chicken carcasses) with any skin or pan drippings
  • 1 large onions, unpeeled and quartered
  • 1 head of garlic, cut in half crosswise
  • 2 celery ribs with leaves, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 sprigs fresh oregano or thyme
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 8 to 10 cups water

Instructions

  1. Layer all the ingredients in a 6 to 7 quart slow cooker adding enough water to submerge most of the ingredients. Cook on low for 12 to 24 hours, or until the bones start to fall apart.
  2. Carefully strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove all the solids; discard. Refrigerate 2 hours, scoop off any scum or fat solids. Transfer to small containers to refrigerate (up to 5 days) or freeze (up to 3 months) for later use.
