J Roe's Bone Broth

Cooking tip: the longer you leave the broth to cook, the more collagen will be present.
Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds bone-in chicken I do half thighs/half drums
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
  • 2 cups onion wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 teaspoon better than bullion chicken

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into large stock pot — I use an 8.5 quart one and then fill with cold water.
  • Put over high heat until bubbles appear, then turn heat to low (as low as your stove can go).
  • Simmer on that low setting for at least 8 hours. The one I made for was 12 hours. Sometimes, I’ll cook it all day, refrigerate overnight, then put it back on low in the morning for that whole day. Longest I did was about 24 hours total and it was really gelatinous in the fridge — the more gelatinous it is the more collagen is present.
  • Place a strainer in a large bowl and pour the mixture into the strainer. Remove all chicken and veggies, pour broth into preferred storage container — I like mason jars.
  • Store in the fridge. The first morning after refrigeration, there will be a yellow skin on top — scoop that off and discard.
  • Warm and serve as desired. Can be stored for at least 4 days in the fridge.
