Adding Asian flavor to outdoor cooking

Chicken Bone Broth

The foundation of any soup is a great broth. When it comes to Asian cooking, you can’t go wrong with a simple chicken bone broth base. Here’s a quick recipe that can be used to make a simple bone broth using chicken bones.

I usually like to purchase a whole rotisserie chicken and shred the meat. And yes, you guessed it, the leftover chicken bones can be used to create a chicken bone broth soup.

Recipe

  • 1 Rotisserie Chicken
  • 1 Onion
  • 8 cups of water
  • Salt (add for taste)

Directions

  • 1. Shred meat off rotisserie chicken
  • 2. Place chicken bones into pot that will cook the broth
  • 3. Cut onion in half with outside shell on (yes, this keeps the flavor)
  • 4. Cook on low/medium for 1 hour

Helpful Notes

Star Anise – just a single star can elevate a chicken broth (the power of very little licorice can go a long way)

Ginger – give it a bit of a kick, traditionally in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cooking, we always use ginger

Chili oil – give it a nice spicy kick!
