▢
1
celery stalk
roughly chopped

1
carrot
roughly chopped

cups
water
Instructions
Add leftover chicken bones, celery, carrot, onions, rosemary, and thyme to the slow cooker.
Pour enough water to completely fill the slow cooker, about 1 inch from the top of the slow cooker. (Mine was about 16 cups)
Cover and cook on Low overnight or for 8-10 hours.
Using a strainer, take out the chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs.
Refrigerate the broth until the fat rises to the top and solidifies.
Using a
fine mesh strainer
, skim the fat off the top of the broth. Discard chicken fat or reserve for later use {like making chicken gravy}.
Transfer the broth to containers, and refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
Notes
*If you made the
Whole Chicken in a Crock-Pot
, you can omit this onion since there is already an onion from the
Chicken in a Crock-Pot recipe
. Just make sure there is some onion in the slow cooker.
