Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken carcass
- 1 large carrot (cut in half, then into 3-inch lengths)
- 2 celery ribs (cut in half, then into 3-inch lengths)
- 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 yellow onion (cut into fourths)
- 1 garlic clove (peeled and smashed)
- Water (enough to cover the ingredients)
Instructions
- Place the rotisserie chicken carcass into an 8-quart stock pot. Add the carrots, celery, whole peppercorns, apple cider vinegar, onion, and garlic.
- Fill the pot with enough water to cover at least half of the chicken carcass. Arrange the vegetables so they are submerged in the water.
- Cover the pot with a lid and bring the mixture to a hard boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Allow the broth to simmer for about 90 minutes. Occasionally, turn the carcass and stir the vegetables.
- Turn off the heat and let the broth cool. Once cool enough to handle, strain the bones and vegetables using a colander placed over a large bowl.
- For a clearer broth, strain it again through a fine mesh strainer back into the stock pot.
- The broth is now ready to use or can be stored for later use.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs and adjusting seasoning to taste before serving.
