Notes
To Make Homemade Chicken Broth:
After serving the chicken. Put the carcass back in the crock pot with a quartered onion, 2 celery stalks and 2 carrots both roughly chopped, and a bay leaf. Add enough water to cover everything and leave about an inch or two of space at the top. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, overnight works great too. Once the stock is done, strain it through a mesh strainer to remove all the bones and veggie remains. Cool and refrigerate or freeze the finished stock.
