On our way to broth

So my Whole Chicken is done! It was so tender and literally fell right off the bone. As it was cooling, so I could touch it, Hubs started sniffing around and asked what that yummy smell was. He also learned that the lid to the crockpot gets hot. Yes I replied, 8 hours of heat will do that to a lid ;) I took all the bones out and put them in a bowl then took all the chicken out and put it in a storage container for later (for my chicken tacos). I also took any pieces that I didnt like the look of and put them in the bone bowl. I left the juices in the crock and then added the bones back into the crock and the rest of the ingredients. It is set on low and in the morning it will be ready, well almost. It has to cool and I have to pick the bones out aka the carcass (what a weird word). Then I will blend whats left into yummy brothiness! I am sure that I will never use those little dehydrated broth cubes again. The smell of the homemade broth is so yummy.

  3. yum. I want to use my crock pot more too. I love everything I make in it. I've had mine about 18 months and use it once a fortnight, but I'd love to use it more.

    I'll be watching you with interest. :)
