my favorite and best chicken bone broth recipe
that you can make in a slow cooker,
so keep watching.
(upbeat music)
Hey guys, I'm Lacey Jones for Gratified Soul.
I'm going to share with you a very fast
and easy way to throw all these ingredients
into the slow cooker and step away for 12 hours,
and come out with the best tasting
chicken bone broth you've ever had.
If you want to get down into the benefits
and some of my tips and tricks,
watch my first video that I did
on the best bone broth recipe in a slow cooker
that's using grass-fed beef bones.
So let's get started.
Let's talk about the things that we're gonna need.
First of all, let's start with quality ingredients.
That's the most important thing
that you're going to have to add
to this bone broth because everything's
going to be cooking for a very long time.
We're feeding ourselves all the collagen,
glycine, and amino acids, and if you have bad toxic food
that's in there soaking along with it,
it's actually gonna be more harmful ingesting this.
So good quality ingredients, number one.
I really love the rotisserie chickens at Whole Foods.
Make sure that it's organic, non-GMO.
I think that it's amazing.
Yo can get it cut in half
and then that way you can pull all the chicken off
and save that chicken for later on this week
or you can add it to the bone broth
and make a chicken soup.
You can also add it to your salads...
The list goes on, but you get two meals out of one
and that's another thing that I love
about this chicken bone broth recipe.
The next important thing that you're gonna need
is filtered water to cover the bones in this bone broth
and we get ours out of the Berkey, so it's a lot easier
to get a lot of water filtered that way,
but if you have one of those attached to your faucet,
that works great too, or you can get glass bottles
of spring water and use that to cover the bones.
You also need an acid to pull out all of the glycine,
collagen, amino acids, and all the good stuff
from the bones, so we put a tablespoon
of apple cider vinegar, one full lemon,
I like to roll it first so it squeezes better,
salt and pepper, this is pink Himalayan salt.
This is fresh ground pepper,
so you're gonna get those oils too.
And then tumeric is very good for inflammation.
You guys know how much I love my tumeric.
You can watch my tumeric video
or even the bone broth video before...
I put it all over.
And I love a tablespoon of this minced ginger,
I think tastes amazing.
We're gonna do about 14 cloves of garlic.
If you're making this bone broth for your dog,
then I don't recommend adding the garlic to this,
but we love it, and we're also going to add
rosemary and thyme, the full packets.
I think the thyme really brings out
a nice flavor to the chicken bone broth
that you're really gonna like.
So I just shredded the chicken
and this is what it looks like after,
just the bones, which I do leave some
of the skin on and all of that good stuff.
And this is all the meat
that you get for the next few days.
It's so convenient and easy,
especially when you don't know
what to make or you're hungry,
so that's gonna help on top of...
This is gonna be amazing for our bone broth.
I'm gonna take the lid off
and we're gonna place all of the bones inside.
So now that we have the chicken bones
in the slow cooker, I'm gonna add the garlic cloves.
We use about 14, but you can use a lot more or less.
Pour it all over...
We use all of these. These are pre-washed rosemary.
Oh, one down...
And then do the same for the thyme.
That smells so good.
And kind of break it up too a little bit
so some of the oils get out.
Next I'm going to do a tablespoon of the minced ginger.
This is going to help you if you have any gut issues
as well, and it really just has a great flavor,
especially with the chicken.
I'm gonna take the tumeric,
and I'm just gonna cover it all over the chicken.
It depends on how you feel about tumeric,
but tumeric is great for anti-inflammatory.
You should definitely watch my video
on tumeric if you haven't yet.
But I'm just gonna sprinkle this all over the chicken
and make sure that I have a lot of it in there.
So next I'm gonna add the salt.
You can use as much salt as you like
and I love adding a lot of salt.
You can also add a lot of these herbs
after you do your bone broth,
so then you can spice it up a little bit more,
punch it up, add a little more salt
if you feel like it needs it
or add a little more lemon if you want more lemon.
Then I like to use a lot of fresh ground pepper
just to cover the whole chicken as well.
This gives us a really nice flavor
and it really brings out a lot in the bone broth
and also helps with the tumeric.
It really helps make it more bioavailable.
Now we need to add our acid.
So we're gonna do a tablespoon of apple cide vinegar.
And then I just cut the end of a lemon
and cut a couple slices into it
and I'm just gonna squeeze it.
And it's okay if any of the seeds get in there
because those seeds can be strained
on the next day, so it's no problem.
I like a lot of lemon in my bone broth.
And lastly, we're gonna cover everything
that we've just put in the slow cooker
with filtered water.
Now all we need to do is put the lid on,
set this on at low heat for 12 hours
and then we strain it in the morning
with this strainer inside this pot.
It's super easy to do.
