Can I use rotisserie chicken to make bone broth?

Yes, you can use the bones of the rotisserie chicken to make bone broth.

Does chicken or beef bone broth have more collagen?

Beef broth has more collagen per serving. But chicken bone broth is really high in collagen too, specially if you use a lot of chicken feet.

Do you roast chicken feet for bone broth?

Roasting the bones is optional, but doing so enhances the flavour.

Does bone broth taste like chicken broth?

Bone broth tastes very similar to chicken bone broth. However, since no chicken meat is used to cook the broth, the flavour is slightly different.

Should I put vinegar in my bone broth?

YES! Adding an acidic ingredient like vinegar, helps to draw the minerals out of the bones, resulting in a more nutrient-dense broth.

Instructions

Start by roasting the bones: Lay baking paper over a baking tray, and add the chicken feet and carcass. Roast at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. This step is optional, but in enhances the flavour of the broth.
Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker or pot: I like to add the bones first. Then add all the veggies, spices and vinegar. Fill the slow cooker with water to the very top. Gently combine, and cover with the lid. Cook in low for 24-48 hours. I always do 24 hours.
Discard the solids: remove all the solids from the broth. I remove the big veggies and bones with tongs, and the small solids with a thin strainer.
Let it cool and remove the fat: fill up jars (whatever size is convenient for you) and let them cool. Once it's cool, remove sim the fat from the top and discard it. You can save it and use it for cooking if you wish.
For serving: since this broth is super concentrated, I usually go for approx. 1/2 broth + 1/2 water. Add salt and ground pepper to taste.

Notes

You can use any combination of chicken bones that add up to approx. 1.3kg. I love using mainly chicken feet because they have the most collagen.

This chicken bone broth is super concentrated. I find this works best for storage, as I need less jars, and therefore less space in the freezer or fridge.

Store the broth in glass jars. Use whatever size is convenient for you. I find that 500ml jars work ideal for me (three servings).

This healing chicken bone broth can last up to a week in the fridge, or up to three months in the freezer.
