The Importance of Long Simmering for Rich Flavor

Simmering your chicken bone broth for several hours is the key to extracting all the goodness from the bones and cartilage. The slow process releases collagen, minerals, and amino acids that give the broth its smooth texture and deep flavor. During the simmering process, don’t forget to skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface to keep the broth clear and clean.

Tips for Maximizing Flavor in Chicken Bone Broth

To make your chicken bone broth truly stand out, I recommend adding vinegar (like apple cider vinegar) during the simmering process. The acidity helps break down the bones and releases more minerals. Also, be sure to add the vegetables and herbs early enough to allow their flavors to meld into the broth. For a richer taste, consider roasting the chicken bones and vegetables in the oven before simmering them—this brings out a caramelized flavor that adds a deeper dimension to the broth.

Variations and Add-ins

Rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken, or turkey from holiday meals can easily be used for this recipe.
Chicken bouillon can be substituted with vegetable bouillon.
Skip making the homemade chicken broth and simply use store-bought chicken broth.
1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon equals 1 cup of chicken broth, if you’re in need of a quick substitute.
You can also use Better Than Bouillon (chicken base), which I love and use frequently for added flavor.
