Ingredients to Gather
- Chicken – Chicken pieces, especially those with bones like wings, thighs, or drumsticks, are ideal for making a rich and flavorful broth. The bones release essential minerals and collagen during slow cooking, giving the broth depth and a nourishing quality.
- Celery – Adds a subtle earthy flavor and natural sweetness to bone broth.
- Carrots – Bring a touch of sweetness and balance the other ingredients’ savory flavors.
- Onion – Provides a savory depth to the bone broth, helping to round out the flavors.
- Parsley – Adds a fresh, herbal note to the broth.
- Bay Leaves – Enhances the bone broth’s depth of flavor with a slightly peppery and herbal note.
- Salt – Brings out the natural richness of the other ingredients in the chicken bone broth.
- Dried Thyme – The subtle herbal aroma enhances the broth’s depth and complexity.
- Peppercorns – Brings a gentle heat to the bone broth, enhancing the savory flavors without overpowering them.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Helps draw out minerals and collagen from the bones in bone broth, enhancing its nutritional value.
