Receta Clean Eating Bone Broth
This bone broth recipes is so simple and so delicious, you’ll never make it any other way again! But there’s a secret. A secret I only discovered recently.
I’ve tried many times to make a truly good bone broth and failed miserably. I mean, the broth was good, but it never had that… “I could drink this straight from a cup by the gallon” flavor I was hoping for.
Then one evening about a year ago, my mom sent me home with some broth she had made. I could NOT believe the flavor! I drank nearly the entire batch in one sitting. I just couldn’t stop! It was nourishing, comforting and the flavor was out of this world!
I called her to find out what she had done and she couldn’t think of a darn thing. We chatted about it for nearly an hour trying to figure it out because, according to her, she hadn’t done anything different than she usually does. That is, until she mentioned that she used the rotisserie chicken carcass I had purchased at Whole Foods to make the broth with. She said usually, she just uses a raw chicken and cooks it at home to make broth with.
Not entirely certain that that made such a big difference, I forgot about the whole thing for a while. But then about a week ago, I had another rotisserie chicken and thought I’d give it a try.
This bone broth is the BEST bone broth I’ve ever had, and it only uses four ingredients. Who know using a rotisserie chicken carcass could make such a huge difference???!!! But it does.
I will say that it’s not always easy to find a truly clean rotisserie chicken. So be sure you read ingredient lists on the packaging so you don’t get more than you bargained for in your broth.
Recipe Notes: The size of your pot doesn’t really matter as long as it fits the carcass. What does matter is how much you boil it. You want it to be about the color of the photo above and the larger your pot is, the more water you will use and the longer you will have to boil it.
Also, to make a more clear broth, simply strain it through a fine-meshed sieve or some cheesecloth.

Ingredients:
1 rotisserie chicken carcass, skin included
2 medium bay leaves
- 2 tsp. peppercorns
- Water – Enough to fill your pot over the carcass
Directions:
Put everything in a pot and fill with enough water to cover the carcass. Boil until you have a nice deep broth color. Depending on the size of your pot, this will be boiled down about 1/4 to 1/2 of the way when it’s done. When it’s done, you can add salt if you want to, but I didn’t think it needed any.
Transfer to a bowl and cool in the fridge. If you have a lot of broth, you may want to divide it into smaller bowls so it cools faster for food safety reasons. Chill overnight.
If you do not want a lot of fat in your broth, simply skim the chilled fat off the top. If you eat low carb and want more fat, simply re-warm it as is.
This can be frozen for up to 4 to 5 months. Be be sure to chill overnight before transferring to jars. It makes the likelihood of your jars cracking a bit less. Just be sure to leave at least a 1/2 inch space from the top of the jar to ensure it has room to expand in the freezer.
SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS: Add all ingredients to the crock, fill with water to about 1/2 inch below the top of the crock and cook on low for 10-12 hours.
