Ingredients

2 chicken carcasses + additional bones and cartilage from chicken parts
16 cups water
1 unpeeled onion
1/2 bulb garlic
2 unpeeled carrots
2 stalks celery
2 sprigs rosemary
2 sage leaves
8 peppercorns
sea salt
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Add all ingredients to your slow cooker and put on the lid (do not lock the lid but place properly to avoid too much water evaporation).
Set the slow cooker to anywhere from 12-24 hours on low.
Remove the carcasses and veggies with tongs.
Ladle the broth through a sieve into a bowl with a spout and then pour into your storage containers.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or store in freezer-friendly containers (don’t fill all the way up, liquid expands when frozen) and freeze for up to 3 months.
