Steps:
- Put the chicken bones, carrots, celery, parsnips, bay leaves, thyme, onion, salt and pepper into a large slow cooker. Cover with water by 2 inches, then set on low. Cook for 10 to 12 hours overnight. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer, then store in jars.
SLOW COOKER CHICKEN BONE BROTH
This slow-cooked bone broth uses roasted bones and unpeeled veggies, which produces a much deeper flavor and darker color. For a lighter-colored broth, omit the roasting step and use peeled veggies. The longer this simmers, the richer it gets, however don't go longer than 48 hours as the flavor can turn bitter. Make sure about half your bones are collagen-rich, such as chicken backs, feet, or wings. Season with additional salt, if desired, upon serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For a richer broth, use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with bones. If you prefer a lighter broth, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Roast the chicken bones: Roasting the chicken bones before adding them to the slow cooker enhances their flavor and adds a beautiful golden color to the broth.
- Add aromatics: Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions are classic additions to chicken broth. They add flavor and depth to the broth.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley add a wonderful aroma and flavor to the broth. Tie them together with kitchen twine to make it easy to remove them later.
- Season well: Don't be afraid to season the broth generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Simmer for a long time: The longer you simmer the broth, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 8 hours, but you can simmer it for up to 24 hours.
- Strain the broth: Once the broth is done simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give you a clear, flavorful broth.
