There’s something wonderfully practical about turning the remains of a rotisserie chicken into a pot of homemade bone broth.
Instead of letting the chicken carcass go to waste, pair it with a handful of simple vegetables and let your VitaClay Nourishing Pot do the cooking. The result is a comforting homemade broth you can keep on hand for soups, stews, grains, sauces, and other everyday meals.
This simple recipe comes from @wholehomehannah, who shared how she makes rotisserie chicken bone broth in her VitaClay Nourishing Pot as she gets ready for cozy soup-and-stew season.
1. Add everything to your VitaClay.
Place the rotisserie chicken carcass into the VitaClay clay pot. Add the chopped onion, leek, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaves.
2. Add water.
Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, taking care not to exceed the maximum fill level recommended for your VitaClay model.
3. Cook the broth.
Select the Soup setting and cook for approximately 4 hours, or use the Bone Broth setting if available on your VitaClay model.
4. Cool and strain.
Once cooking is complete, allow the broth to cool enough to handle safely. Strain out the chicken bones, vegetables, bay leaves, and other solids.
5. Store.
Transfer the strained broth into clean containers and refrigerate promptly. Use within approximately 4–5 days, or freeze portions for longer storage.
She prefers to leave the salt out while the broth is cooking and season it later when reheating.
That's an especially convenient approach when you're making broth to use in several different recipes. You can adjust the seasoning depending on whether the broth is going into soup, stew, grains, or another dish.
Homemade broth is one of those simple kitchen habits that can help you make more of the ingredients you already have.
A rotisserie chicken can become dinner first—and then its bones can become a flavorful homemade broth for tomorrow's soup, grains, or one-pot meal.
With the VitaClay Nourishing Pot handling the gentle cooking, making a batch to keep in the refrigerator or freezer becomes an easy addition to your kitchen routine.
