Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Clean glass jars with lids

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken 3 to 4 pounds
  • 8 to 10 chicken feet
  • 2 to 3 chicken heads optional
  • 1 small celeriac peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 2 carrots coarsely chopped
  • 3 or 4 bay leaves
  • 16 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste

Substitution Option:

  • Instead of the whole chicken, you may substitute with poultry backs or carcasses (such as from chicken, guinea fowl, turkey, or duck).

Instructions
 

  • Arrange the whole chicken, chicken feet, and optional chicken heads in the base of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Scatter the chopped celeriac, carrots, and bay leaves around the chicken pieces.
  • Pour all 16 cups of water into the slow cooker, ensuring the ingredients are fully covered.
  • Secure the lid and set the slow cooker to the low setting. Let the broth simmer gently for 24 hours without stirring.
  • About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the fresh parsley and salt, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
  • After cooking, carefully pour the contents through a fine-mesh strainer to separate the liquid from the solids. Discard the solids unless you plan to reuse any bones for a secondary stock.
  • If desired, taste the broth and add more salt to your preference. Allow the broth to cool.
  • Once cooled, transfer the broth into clean glass jars and secure the lids.
  • Refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for long-term storage, up to 1 year.

Notes

  • When chilled, a layer of fat will rise to the surface. You can remove this fat and save it to use like tallow in other carnivore-friendly recipes.
  • Chicken feet give the broth a rich, gelatinous consistency due to their high collagen content, which supports joint health and skin elasticity.
  • If the bones still feel sturdy after straining, you can reuse them to prepare another batch of stock.
