Yes, a combination of rotisserie chicken and whatever other chicken bone scraps you have will all work nicely! Aw, your dogs sound like they are so well cared for and loved ❤️

I love this tip, thanks so much for sharing! Agreed – it’s so important not to waste food, there are so many benefits.

Important recipe! We should try not to waste anything as food is so expensive. The only thing we do differently with our poultry stocks is we will break up the bones a bit with a meat mallet to expose the bone marrow. Bones and bits of them get strained out after it cooks. Homemade is always better!

Indeed! Just throw in some veggies (or even chicken!) and you’ve got something!

Kind of! It’s the same principle but beef bones are generally much larger and take MUCH longer to break down. That may be a good job for a slow cooker or instant pot. You can add a little vinegar – I like using apple cider vinegar – which I’ve heard helps hasten the process a bit. I haven’t personally done it, but from my research you can do 24-36 hours (!) in a slow cooker on low or 4 hours in a pressure cooker. I encourage you to do a bit more research on this, since I’m much more familiar with chicken broth, but hopefully this is a good starting point!

Can you make beef bone broth the same way?

I air fry chicken thighs for my dogs a couple of nights a week and freeze the bones for bone broth. Don’t know why I haven’t used rotisserie chicken carcasses, tossing them into the mix as well but will do so now. I often give my dogs freezer dried raw medallions and adding bone broth to them makes for a moister meal.

Oh yay, I’m so happy this was helpful! I also hate wasting food, and am always looking for new ways to use scraps. So economical AND good for the earth!

Love the idea of using it for rice, it adds such flavor to a simple ingredient!

I started doing this about 2 years ago with my rotisserie chickens from Sam’s Club. Yep, bones etc. right into the freezer, then when I have 3 or more, I make my broth and freeze it in plastic bags. I use it mostly for making rice in my rice cooker (if I need a little more, I’ll just add some water). You tips have given me great ideas of what to add to make it even more tastier! Thank you!

I hate throwing food away! I roasted a chicken last night and was wondering exactly this! Thank you for the tip! Will definitely save up my next carcasses and try this! Thank you!
