Method

Step 1: Add a liner to your slow cooker, this saves time cleaning after use

Step 2: Add the chicken carcass to the slow cooker

Step 3: Cut your onion and carrots and place into the slow cooker

Step 4: Add the mixed herbs, salt and pepper

Step 5: Fill your slow cooker almost to the top with cold water

Step 6: Place the lid on, turn to low and cook for a minimum of 24 hours

Step 7: Drain the cooked bone broth through a fine-mesh strainer keeping the juice

Step 8: Divide the bone broth into containers and allow to cool

Tip! The recipe is based on a 5-litre slow cooker so you may need to use fewer herbs and salt if you have a smaller one.

Using the carcass from rotisserie chicken will add more flavour to your bone broth.

Once your bone broth has cooled you can keep it in the fridge, drink 1-2 cups daily.

Use it as a base for soups, stews and sauces

Bone broth will keep in the fridge for up to a week and the rest can be frozen and defrosted when needed.
