Chicken Bone Broth
If you’ve prepared our Immune Boosting Chicken Soup, chances are you have leftover chicken bones. Instead of discarding them, this recipe shows you a simple, nourishing way to put them to good use. Making chicken bone broth is one of the most economical and nutrient-dense habits you can build into your kitchen routine.
While bone broth may be trending now, it’s far from new. Its origins date back over 2,500 years, where it was used in Chinese medicine to support kidney health, digestion, and overall vitality. Since then, bone broth has been valued across cultures, from traditional European kitchens to Asian healing practices, for both its culinary depth and restorative properties.
So what’s the difference between stock and bone broth? Stock is typically simmered for a shorter time and is made mainly for flavour. Bone broth, on the other hand, is simmered gently for much longer. This recipe takes 6 to 8 hours on low heat, allowing minerals, amino acids, and collagen to slowly extract from the bones. A longer cooking process gives bone broth its richer body and potential digestive and immune-supporting benefits.
Chicken bone broth is naturally warming, easy to digest, and deeply nourishing. It can be sipped on its own, used as a base for soups and stews, or added to grains and vegetables. Gentle, slow simmering is key, bringing the broth to a light simmer and keeping the heat low helps preserve nutrients while creating a deeply flavoured, versatile staple that supports everyday health.

Beef bones are much denser so yes a longer simmering time would be recommended.

Absolutely. A slow cooker on LOW typically holds food at around 85–95°C, which is perfect for bone broth.

Also, there is confusing information in the benefits of bome broth. Is the 12 - 24 hours simmering only for beef or chicken too please?

At step 3, could you transfer this to a slow cooker and heat on low for 6 - 8 hours or is low in a slow cooker not hot enough please?
