Making Chicken Bone Broth on Stove Top
I prefer to make my bone broth on the stove top. Yes, the old fashioned way I'll start early in the morning and let it simmer boil all day, 10+ hours. Then typicaly I'll let it cool, refrigerate and the next day begin the straining and finishing process to freezer.
Yes, I prefer to freeze it. Sometimes I'll put some in canning jars knowing I'll use it in a couple of weeks in sipping and in cooking. However, if I have an ample supply, I'll just freezer.
Bone Broth Slow Cooker
With a slow cooker, use the low setting.
Add your ingredients and let it cook for about 18 to 24 hours.
Cool, strain and finish for storing.
Chicken Bone Broth InstaPot
You can certainly use an InstaPot or Multi-Cooker like the Cuckoo, which is my favorite!
You'll put your ingredients in and use low pressure for four hours. Then once that time's up, reset for another 4 hours.
You can also leave it overnight (about 8-10 hours) on warm and then cool, strain and finish the next morning.
Chicken Bone Broth Recipe Stove Top
I like the stove top method.
Rinse and clean the chicken feet. If you're using other parts, neck, gizzards, livers, backbone, yes, clean and add them, too.
Put in your large pot based upon the amount of chicken feet/bones you have. Cover about with water leaving about 3-4″ from the top of the pot. Add your aromatics and herbs. Cover with a lid. Turn heat to medium high. Let it come to a simmering boil. Put the lid askew, reduce heat to medium.
This mixture is going to simmer boil for hours, and, yes, you must keep water nearby to add as it reduces and evaporates.
For me, having it in the kitchen on the stove top is really the old-fashioned way. If I need to run out and do things, I can reduce the heat to low, cover and let it continue to slowly cook.
Chicken Feet Bone Broth Benefits
Chicken feet are known to have great collagen reserves! Imagine that! In the feet of those chickens, and your chicken feet MUST be pasture-raised (otherwise you're not getting a real chicken with all the nutritional benefits, I think).
Chicken feet, yes, those gnarly ugly looking little four pronged 'feet' are super rich in collagen and they are a fabulous source of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate!
It's like having a magic elixir. A fountain of youth.
And, talk about helping with things like osteoarthritis and your joints.
Now don't expect miracles and things overnight. I've been sipping and cooking with bone broth for decades, and I ascribe a lot of my very good health to it.
Making Bone Broth with Chicken Feet
Making bone broth with chicken feet isn't complicated. It just takes time and patience. I usually make a pot that yields about 16+ cups and that will last maybe a week or ten days. Why? Well, not only do we sip bone broth, but I cook with it regularly.
That's why I also keep a big stash of Kettle and Fire in my pantry. Honestly, no way can I keep up with making enough for what just we two people use!
