C3 Bro's Roasted Chicken

You can make this chicken with or without brining you chicken but we prefer the flavor and tenderness of a brined chicken! We think you will too! You can also make your own bone broth after you have cooked the chicken and it is so delicious.  We drink it in the morning before school, on a cold day, or when starting to feel sick.

Brine your chicken first.  It's very simple and worth the extra time.  This makes the chicken tender, flavorful and gives the bone broth the perfect amount of yumminess.

1. To brine the chicken, using a large stockpot, dissolve ½ cup of Himalayan salt in water in the pot. 
2.  Fill the pot ½ full and stir the salt until mostly dissolved.  
3. Add the whole chicken to the pot and add more water to cover the chicken if needed.  
4. Refrigerate up to 2 days.

Now to bake the chicken

1. Place the chicken in a large dutch oven.  
2. Reserve 2 cups of the brining liquid and add to the dutch oven
3. Sprinkle 3 T of the Finger Lickin' Chicken spices on the top side of the chicken.  
4. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and bake 4-5 hours or until tender with a fork.  
5. Debone the chicken making sure to keep all the bones, skin, and juice.
6. Reserve a little juice to pour over the cooked chicken and keep the rest of the juice to make bone broth.  

Lori’s Bone Broth

1. Place the reserved bones, skin, and juice from the roasted chicken into a slow cooker.
2. (Optional) Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.  
3. Fill the cooker to the top with water.
4. Cook on low for 24 hours or high for 12-18 hours.  
5. Place a fine strainer inside a large bowl and pour the bone broth into the strainer.  This keeps all the bones, skin, and veggies from getting into the broth.  
6. Discard the bones, skin, and veggies.
7. Taste the broth and add salt to taste.  
8. Refrigerate or freeze and enjoy!
