Step 1:
How to cook chicken broth in a slow cooker? Prepare the chicken carcass, having cleaned it from the hairs, divide it into the necessary pieces. You can generally buy individual parts of the carcass in the store, which are preferable for making broth. Rinse the chicken in water.
Step 2:
If it is not essential for you to have a large amount of fat, remove it from everywhere you can. I also shortened the skin in some places as much as possible. It can generally be cut off.
Step 3:
You can pour water into the bowl and already turn on the slow cooker, covering it with a lid. It's good if you have a "broth" mode. If there is no such mode, select "soup" or follow the instructions for your device. In the meantime, we'll prepare the rest of the ingredients. Wash the carrots and peel them. Rinse it again and put it in the bowl of the slow cooker entirely.
Step 4:
Remove the uppermost parts of the husk from the onion without peeling the lower ones. Rinse it well and cut off what you deem necessary, capable of spoiling both the look and taste of the finished product. I cut off the tops and buttocks. By the way, I then added some more onion husks to the broth. But this is optional.
Step 5:
Put the onion in the bowl of the slow cooker, add the lavrushka (you can also put pepper peas). Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set the cooking time according to the instructions for your technique. I have it for 1.5 hours. Add salt to the broth to taste half an hour before the end of cooking.
Step 6:
As soon as your assistant signals, you can open the lid. The broth turned out just right. But when I took out the meat, all the scum, which we usually remove with a slotted spoon, rose up. Together with the meat, take out both the vegetables and the bay leaf.
Step 7:
So I additionally strained the broth by covering a fine sieve with a double cloth napkin. That's how it turned out, transparent, bright and rich.
Step 8:
Serve the broth with whatever you want. For example, I planned to just drink it. Therefore, in addition to spices, I added only a little green onion. Boiled egg, sliced chicken fillet and so on will also go here. Bon appetit!

It all depends on what you are going to cook on the basis of chicken broth. So, you can take any part of the carcass – or thighs, or wings, or back, or necks and other offal. Or you can take a whole carcass, dividing it into parts.

Do not look into the slow cooker during cooking. Everything will be held at the highest level.

You can also add different spices to give the broth the taste you need.

You can add salt to the broth later when you are preparing the main dish.
If the broth is cooked for soup, then add the rest of the products to the bowl 20 minutes before turning off the multi. To prepare the aspic, add gelatin diluted in water, and so on.

If there is a lot of broth, freeze it by pouring it into hermetically sealed bags or in another container.

You can decide for yourself with water. If you want a rich broth, then pour as much as I have in the composition.

The amount of water specified in the recipe can be reduced or increased at your request, depending on whether you want to get a thick or more liquid soup.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
