Directions

  1. In a 3- quart crock pot, add chicken bones, onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and thyme. Pour cold water over bones and vegetables to cover, about 8 cups. Cover with the lid and turn on high.
  2. Cook stock for 8 to 12 hours, skimming fat and foam off top.
  3. Once cooked and flavorful, strain bones and vegetables from liquid. Chill and store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for future use.

Chef Tips

You can use the carcass from a roast chicken for the bones, or 4 chicken thighs.  A small 3 quart cooker like the one we’ve used here will make 1 quart, enough for 2 people.
