Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 6 cups water, or as needed to cover
• aluminum foil
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 leftover chicken carcass, broken into pieces
• 0.5 tablespoon ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Place chicken bones on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Transfer bones to a large, heavy stockpot. Add onion and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add vinegar, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, partially covered, leaving enough space for steam to escape, for 4 to 5 hours. Check occasionally, remove any froth or foam that develops on top of water with a large spoon.

Step 5

Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot. Cool completely at room temperature, then store in the refrigerator. Use within 5 days or freeze until ready to use.
