I’m sure you’ve seen the hype surrounding bone broth and the many health benefits it offers. It’s also a really tasty base for a lot of my favorite recipes. This chicken bone broth recipe is super easy. I’m going to show you how to make bone broth in the Crockpot, it’s a total game changer!

Making bone broth is really easy. I use my Instant Pot or my Crockpot in this case to really bring out the flavors from the skin, bones, and cartilage of the chicken! It doesn’t matter if you are making bone broth for the health benefits or as a base for cooking, you’ll love how simple the process is with this recipe.

Bone Broth In The Crockpot

One of the great things about making bone broth in the Crockpot is that you can let it cook for a long time. This really helps to bring out all the great nutrients and aids in making a really delicious bone broth.

Check out how easy it is to make bone broth in the Crockpot:

1. Put chicken carcass or bones in a crockpot with remaining ingredients.
2. Fill the crock pot full of water.
3. Cook on high for at least 24 hours (add water as needed). I often cook ours for 2 days, adding water after the first 24 hours.
4. When the broth is ready, use a slotted spoon to scoop out all the large bones. Then pour broth through a mesh strainer to separate the fat and smaller parts.
5. Refrigerate in large mouth mason jars until ready to use or put in a stock pot and make bone broth soup.

Pro Tip:The fat will rise to the top when refrigerating. You can skim this off, or use it in your soup.

Recipes To Make Using This Bone Broth:

Bone broth and especially a chicken bone broth can be used as a stock for many recipes. It’s a great way to add moisture and chicken flavor to your favorite recipes. I use it in place of water when making rice sometimes! It really boosts the flavor.

Use chicken bone broth as your liquid when making chicken based recipes in the Instant Pot too!
