Ingredients
- 2-2 1/2 Lbs. Chicken
- 1 Medium Onion, Cut into 4 Wedges
- 2-3 Cloves of Garlic, Smashed
- 2 Medium Carrots
- 2 Stalks of Celery
- 2-3 Thin Slices of Fresh Ginger, Peeled and Sliced to About the Size of a Quarter
- 1/3 Cup Dried Mushrooms
- 3-4 Peppercorns
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 3 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- Sea Salt to Taste
- 8-10 Cups of Water
Instructions
- Place the bones you will use on a cooking sheet and roast in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes. This will help bring out the flavor as they cook in the Crock Pot.
- While the bones are roasting, clean all vegetables. Peel and cut the onion and ginger. I prefer to leave the greens on the celery stalks.
- After 15 minutes, use a pair of tongs to transfer the bones to the Crock Pot.
- Layer all the vegetables, mushrooms, bay leaf and peppercorns on top.
- Add the peppercorns and Apple Cider Vinegar.
- Pour 8-10 cups of water over the top. Just enough to cover the bones and vegetables but not to the top of the Crock Pot.
- Add sea salt to taste.
- Cover and cook on low at least 10 hours and up to 20 hours.
- After cooking, let the broth cool for an hour.
- Once cooled off, set a large pot in the sink, and using a mesh strainer, slowly ladle or pour the contents of the bone broth through the strainer, into the pot.
- The bone broth will filter through the strainer.
- Finally, from the pot, you can use your Crock Pot bone broth immediately or save portions for future use.
Notes
