I generally add "Better than Boullion" to most soups or recipes that have chicken broth in them. It elevates that grocery store chicken broth. You can generally find it on the soup shelves

Kettle and Fire Bone Broth. It's pricey, but worth it.

Yes, I know that's not what was asked, and no it isn't for everybody, but: Buy two rotisserie chickens. Take the meat from one to eat, freeze the meat from the other one for quick meals later, and toss the bones and skin in some water, boil for an hour or more, pour off the broth, put in fridge and skim off fat.

You have wonderful broth and a lot of chicken meat already cooked for $10. Best bargain, easy to toss the leftovers out too.

If you want, toss that limp carrot and the remainders of an onion or two in the broth as it cooks. Cleans the fridge out as well!

Good Friday morning all...my work week is over 😉

I typically only use the stocks because it's stronger. For me, the brand Kitchen Basics sodium free stock.

@Sooner I did what you did a few weeks ago. We had two rotisserie Sams chickens for dinner. It was pretty much picked of meat but I put the carcass and what was left of the meat on it in a slow cooker. Added peppercorns, carrots, celery and onion and filled it with water to cover carcass. Let it go on low for 10 hours. The stock was golden deep. Pulled out the carcass and ran the liquid in a pot over a mesh strainer. Got 3 quart containers and it was delicious. Beats store bought every time.

If you slow cook the bones for 18 hours you've got bone broth. Just cover the bones with water and cook on hi.

It's handy but doesn't it contain a lot of salt?

ETA - K & F contains protein/collagen, which is good for your gut, skin, hair, etc. It's not just flavored salty water.

Trader Joe's chicken and beef, and vegetable broths are the best ! Tried all the store brands and nothing compares!

@JeanLouiseFinch

I can attest to the benefits of bone broth, use it too. My brand of choice is LonoLife, 10 grams of collagen protein. I've seen a difference in all those things you mentioned, gut, skin, hair.

I like Pacific chicken broth. Often drink it warm for extra nutrition.

@bmorechick

What size slow cooker are you using?

Got 3 quart containers. So you ended up with 12 cups?

Have never made broth. Why not try it?

We don't have a Sam's. The Rotisserie chickens at Wal-Mart are also smaller. They are even smaller at the grocery store.

Just a note: I thought we had discussed this topic recently, so I went looking for the thread. I found it and was surprised that it was also started by you, @goldensrbest!

Usually, I make my own; but when I can't I order a brand called Fond. It is absolutely the best your money can buy. It is expensive, but well worth the cost.

Re: Best chicken broths

bmorechick — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 02:38:23 GMT

@Nightowlz It's a big one cause I got a big family. I'm bad at liquid measure. It yielded three of the size large won ton soup containers.

Sams are a good size but if your bird is smaller, just use less water 🤷‍♀️or two smaller chickens

Yes, and sugar too.
