Notes

  1. Scrub the feet thoroughly before cooking to make sure they are clean.
  2. Note that I do not add salt to this bone broth recipe. When I use this chicken bone broth in other recipes, I like to adjust the salt as necessary for specific recipes. If you are drinking it straight, you will want to salt it to taste, otherwise it will taste bland. I don’t recommend adding salt during the cooking process as the salt concentration becomes very high.
  3. For a completely smooth bone broth, strain through a sieve. Personally I use a finely woven wire mesh strainer, but I don’t need a perfectly smooth broth. You can strain it more than once if necessary. You can strain several times to get ultra clear broth.
  4. Freeze the broth in ice cubes and store in freezer bags to make it easy to use later. You can also freeze in 1 cup portions for ease of use as well.
  5. You can leave the vinegar out if you prefer and your results will still come out well.
  6. You can make the broth with frozen chicken feet. Just add them right to the pot!
  7. When cooking on the stovetop, periodically scrape off any scum that has risen to the top of the pot.
  8. To remove the skin, soak them in a vinegar and water mixture for 10-15 minutes, then peel away the skin. You can also plunge them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes.
