Slow Cooker Chicken Stock

Slow cooker chicken stock or broth is gloriously easy. Just toss raw chicken parts or carcasses in a slow cooker with vegetables, water, and herbs in the proper proportions, walk away, and come back later to a rich, deep, concentrated, out-of-this-world, paleo-friendly stock.

Instructions

  1. Toss all the ingredients in your slow cooker, add enough cold water to cover, and cook on low for at least 12 hours or overnight. That's it. If you like, you can skim the surface toward the beginning of cooking to remove any froth that floats to the top.
  2. Strain and let cool completely. Freeze in resealable plastic bags in 1- to 2-cup portions.

Notes

  • Toss all the ingredients in your Instant Pot, add enough cold water to cover, and set to the slow cook mode on the less setting for at least 12 hours or overnight. You may need to skim the surface toward the beginning of cooking. Strain and use or let cool completely before refrigerating or freezing.
