How to Make Bone Broth from Rotisserie Chicken: A Lesson Learned and a Success Story!

[dunamis2007]

Last weekend I bought a rotisserie chicken. Took the meat off and threw the carcass away. The next day I read on here on how to make bone broth. I was so ticked I had thrown the bones out.
Soooo……today I bought another rotisserie chicken for $5. Cleaned the meat off and started up my Instant Pot.
It turned out Great and so easy. I have so much broth. I am going to freeze it in ice cube trays now and then store in the freezer (also read from here)!
Thank you!

Where did you find a rotisserie chicken for $5?

 

[mikesmiles]

@nurdreams72 I'm dying that is the take away

BJs has $5 rotisserie chickens. So does Costco. Sams Club may also.

@alej
Where is here?
I’m in australia

 

[alej]

@amol Las Vegas, NV. Maybe a difference in currency exchange rate?

 

[amol]

@alej ahh that explains things, wages are lower there so that’s reflected in price of things.

@amol 1 AUD = .70 USD

Put a gallon bag in your freezer and throw your vegetable ends and pieces in it. When full, make vegetable stock in your instant pot. Gives plain rice a nice flavor when used instead of water. I keep extra stock in freezer. Link to follow

 

[dunamis2007]

@rudye that is my next thing to do. I have always thrown out my veggie ends. Not anymore.

 

[juanpabloic]

@rudye Exactly this or have TWO one-gallon bags one for chicken bones and one for veggie ends in case you want two separate flavors and don't have the 2+hrs for bone broth.

I put the bones and all in. Cut up one onion with the onion skin on it. Threw in some carrots, celery, one bay leaf, 8 peppercorns and four smashed garlic cloves. Filled it with water up to the line and then set it at high for 120 minutes. Let it sit for 20 minutes after it was done and then released it. So Easy!!!! I think the hard part will be freezing it in the ice cubes tray….LOL

@dunamis2007 when you say “bones and all” from the chicken? Skin? Any chicken?

 

[w7xq]

@caraboot yes, strain it afterwards.
