- Place the chicken carcass and bones in a large stock pot with the vegetables, water, bay leaves, and seasonings.
- Bring to a boil then reduce the heat, cover, and gently simmer for 2-4 hours. Be sure to not leave the stove on overnight or if you leave the house.
- Remove from the heat, strain into a glass bowl or container and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Use in soups, stews, casseroles, or drink on its own.
Notes
- To thaw frozen bone broth: Move the container from the freezer to the fridge overnight. The broth should thaw partially if not fully. Reheat in a pot on the stove and use in your recipe.
- Can I simmer the bone broth for longer? Bone broth is often cooked for 8-24 hours. This recipe is a quicker version using rotisserie chicken. You could simmer this chicken bone broth up to 6 hours for a thicker, richer broth. Be sure to not leave the stove on overnight or if you leave the house. Watch to ensure the water is not boiling off too quickly.
- Use this chicken bone broth in soups and stews like gluten free minestrone soup, quinoa vegetable soup, tuscan chicken skillet, chicken piccata.
