Key Ingredients
Chicken or Beef Bones – Either chicken or beef bones will work in this crockpot bone broth recipe! You can either purchase bones from your local grocery store or butcher shop, or save leftover bones from previous meals. I highly recommend starting a storage bag of leftover chicken and beef bones in your freezer. If you roast and eat an entire chicken, then simply transfer the carcass to a zip-top bag in the freezer. Once you’ve collected 2-3 pounds of broth, defrost them and turn them into homemade bone broth! Apple Cider Vinegar – While optional, apple cider vinegar is helpful in breaking down the collagen in animal bones. By using apple cider vinegar, you will be able to further extract as many nutrients as possible from your bones. Therefore, with a little vinegar you’ll have an even more beneficial crockpot bone broth!
Chef’s Tips
The longer you cook, the better. If you have an entire 48 hours to let your crockpot work its magic, then go ahead and let it! However, if you’re short on time, then just 24 hours will still yield a healthy and flavorful broth.Add or remove any seasonings you’d like! Feel free to throw in a chopped onion to the mix, or even a teaspoon of your favorite dried herbs. No matter how you choose to season this crockpot bone broth, I guarantee it’ll taste delicious.Freeze any unused broth for future use! To do this, cool the broth to room temperature before storing in an airtight container. Then transfer the broth to the freezer where it will maintain its freshness for up to 3 months.
