Chicken Feet Bone Broth

This Chicken Feet Bone Broth recipe is so easy to make and is an easy way to get extra nutrients into your family's meal!
Prep Time 20 hours

Equipment

  • Slow cooker or Roaster

Ingredients
  

  • Leftover chicken carcass + 4 chicken feet or no chicken bones and 2 pounds of feet
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp peppercorns
  • Fresh or dried herbs of choice Optional
  • Vegetables - celery onion or parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

  • First, add the chicken carcasses to either your crockpot or roaster. Fill with water and add salt. Put crockpot on low or roaster at 200 degrees for 12 hours. Usually, I do this overnight.
  • In the morning, pick the meat off the carcasses (use this for a meal!), put it all back into the roaster or crockpot, NOW add 4 feet per bird and some chicken necks (use what you've got here! Feel free to use more or less). Add more water and leave for 6-8 more hours at the same temperature.
  • If you want to add any herbs like thyme or rosemary, add them in the last hour, otherwise they may turn the broth bitter.
  • After the final cook, strain out the solids and use the broth. We like to add the broth to quart-sized mason jars to store in the fridge.
