Total time: 1 day 45 mins
Ingredients: 3 pounds assorted chicken bones; 2 unpeeled carrots, cut into chunks; 2 stalks celery with leaves, cut into chunks; 1 onion, unpeeled and quartered; 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 2 bay leaves; 1 teaspoon sea salt; 0.5 teaspoon black peppercorns; 12 cups water, or as needed

Slow cooking roasted bones and unpeeled vegetables creates a deeply flavored, dark-colored chicken bone broth. The longer the simmer, the richer the broth! Use collagen-rich bones like chicken backs, feet, or wings for best results.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Arrange chicken bones, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, ensuring you stir halfway.
Transfer the roasted bones and vegetables into a 6-quart slow cooker. Add vinegar, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns, then cover completely with water.
Cook on Low for 24 to 48 hours (no longer), adding 1 to 2 cups of water as needed to keep bones submerged. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer, then pour into jars and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
