Bone broth – basically chicken stock made with bones you have at home – is so EASY to make you should NEVER buy it again. You can make bone broth at home with almost any combination of chicken bones, weird chicken parts, or even leftovers from a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. All you need are bones and water and a few onion/aromatics/members of the allium family.
Bone broth is more of an art than a science. This bone broth recipe teaches how to make bone broth so you know it by heart, and you can do it with whatever you have on hand.
- Use an instant pot! instant pot makes bone broth SO quickly.
- Find 1-2 lbs of bones (2 carcasses from the weekly bird roast saved in the freezer) or collagen-y parts of the bird (like the feet!). a pile of aromatics: leeks, 1 or 2 onions, celery, a knob of ginger, whatever (i don’t personally add carrots bc it adds too much sweetness for me). seasoning: 1-2 teaspoon of fish sauce.
- Cover with water (8 cups?) and instant-pot it on high pressure for 1 hr
- Strain into a pitcher or freeze for later
Yes definitely! Any bones will work
You need enough to cover the bones completely.
follow the same recipe but throw everything into a large pot, cover with water, and let it simmer for at least 4 hours.
