Homemade Chicken Bone Broth

Have you finished cooking one of our WR chickens and still have all the bones, neck, juices, and bits of meat left? If so, turn it into delicious chicken bone broth! Bone broth not only tastes great, but it also has many health benefits. Bone broth is packed full of various amino acids, electrolytes, minerals, collagen, and is a great source of protein. This one-of-a-kind, homemade recipe comes to you from Bloom and Brine Iowa, a local producer of cottage goods and shelf stable foods. Find more from her here!

In a large stock pot, place any remaining cooked chicken bones, neck, meat, and juices and combine with ingredients listed below. Simmer on low for 6-12 hours, but 8 hours seems to be the sweet spot. Makes roughly 40 oz. Refrigerate or freeze and enjoy!
