Ingredients

3 lbs assorted chicken bones

6 unpeeled garlic cloves

2 unpeeled carrots, cut into chunks

2 celery stalks with leaves, cut into chunks

1 unpeeled onion, quartered

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 bay leaves

1 tsp sea salt

0.5 tsp black peppercorns

12 cups water, or as needed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

On a baking sheet, toss together the chicken bones, garlic cloves, carrots, celery, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil.

Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Transfer the roasted bones and vegetables to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add vinegar, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns. Cover completely with water and cook on Low for 24 to 48 hours (but not longer), adding 1 to 2 cups more water during the cooking process if needed to keep bones submerged.

Strain the broth using a fine mesh strainer. Pour into jars and refrigerate until ready to use.
