Cook it low and slow until it smells delicious. Then I drain everything out, let it set in the fridge overnight. I skim the fat off the top the next morning then freeze it into cubes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bone-broth-tips-please#post-665959 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:42:26 +0000 ineebee 665959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find that roasting the chicken first makes a big difference in the flavor. After roasting, I eat a nice dinner with all the chicken meat and then throw the carcass (sorry) in a Dutch oven with water, tons of smashed garlic, celery, onions and a couple bay leaves, and leave it there for a couple hours. Strain and enjoy! Delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bone-broth-tips-please#post-665947 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:38:43 +0000 T-Mom 665947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Bee did a nice post on chicken stock using a crockpost a while back, in case you haven't seen it <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/11/09/nourishing-traditions-chicken-stock/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/11/09/nourishing-traditions-chicken-stock/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bone-broth-tips-please#post-665936 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:35:01 +0000 blackbird 665936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well i make chicken broth on the stove......</p> <p>1 onion, 2 carrots and 2 celery, all diced up, a couple tsp of garlic a bay leave, a few peppercorns....saute it all up in some olive oil, dump the chicken on top (in pieces--i always buy my chicken cut up cuz i hate cutting through bone) and then about 8-10 cups of water.
