Steps
Add all ingredients to a crockpot (bones, scraps, fat, etc). Cover with water and cook on low for at least 12 hours (16-18 is best).
You may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the size of your crockpot. You can fill to the top of the crockpot!
Allow broth to cool slightly, and run through a fine mesh strainer into a large pot or container. (This will just be easier to do if it is not scalding hot).
You can strain the broth a second time if you'd like in case any pieces slipped through.
Store in airtight containers for up to 6 days, or put in the freezer until ready to use!

Lori on 2025-09-14 (5 stars): I tried this for the first time using a rotisserie chicken carcass, I was always lazy and left a little bit of the meat on it. It turned out SO good!! It smelled amazing while cooking and I used it to make other soups throughout the next couple of days. I had to use a smallish crockpot because I was using my other one at the time, it still made two 32 ounce jars of jiggly bone broth! I also was only able to cook it for about 6 hours but it still turned out so good!! I’ll be doing this on repeat with every rotisserie chicken I get! Definitely try it!
Linae Bouche on 2025-05-08 (5 stars): I have made bone broth for many years but on the stove top, which can definitely be a labor of love.
I’m surprised this isn’t more well known but you should be adding a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar to the pot you’re making your bone broth in, you will not taste it in the end. ACV will help extract the nutrients from the bones and release, collagen and other minerals.
I’m having to have my freezer repaired and I don’t wanna tend to something on the stove top so giving this recipe a try. Also remember to save your vegetable scraps and put them in the freezer until you’re ready to make bone broth.

Tracy Console on 2025-02-23 (5 stars): I had rotisserie chickens this weekend and used the scraps to make some beautiful bone broth. This will be used to make either Lemon chicken soup ( which I have made before and is delicious) or I have been wanting to try the Chicken Pot Pie soup. Bone broth helps stretch one meal into two and it is amazing for you ! Thank you for all your amazing recipes !
Nancy on 2025-02-17 (5 stars): The first time I made the bone broth was from the crockpot chicken. I froze the herb seasoned broth as the base for my thanksgiving gravy. It was absolutely delicious and aromatic. Wonderful recipe.
Teig on 2024-12-06 (5 stars): Disclaimer I have not tasted it yet but it's not because of this recipe if it turns out bad by any means because I added a bunch of seasonings and carrots and rosemary and different herbs and such. This has to be one of the best recipes I've ever tried. I cooked mine for about 20 hours in my crock pot and after it's cooled down for a few hours I went ahead and transferred it to a stainless steel bowl and wrapped it with Saran wrap and then left it in the fridge overnight for a little too long actually and today I skimmed the fat off because I don't like that part and behold the most precious bone broth gelatin. I'm so excited to use this in recipes after I get back from my trip.
Samantha on 2024-10-29 (5 stars): This was my first time making bone broth and it was absolutely delicious!! The recipe was easy to follow and now I’ll be making it all through fall and winter.
Nicole on 2024-02-23 (5 stars): This was incredibly simple to make. I used a smaller crock pot (maybe 3qt,) a store bought rotisserie chicken after we had ate the meat, I didnt puree vegetables because I had already cut them smaller and didn’t feel like sifting through everything (next time I’ll use larger pieces). It yielded 7.5 cups of broth but it tastes very watered down, is it suppose to?
Emily Yungblut on 2024-01-22 (5 stars): Now that I know how easy it is to make, I'll definitely make it more often. Nice way to get extra vegetables in there too!
