I was making a big batch of bone broth, so I used the 12 quart stock pot. However, sometimes in the winter, we have shank bones, and I will put those in the crock pot on low for 24 hrs.
Those you roast in the oven for a bit, caramelize the onions etc. put some water in the roaster to deglaze it and add it to the liquid for the crockpot.
Our Walmart had some chicken feet here while back - already cleaned and ready to go - I put those in with the bones from a roasted deli chicken and it made the best chicken broth ever! So rich and gelatinous.
I have been trying to eat better lately. I got pretty sick a couple of weeks ago. A hunters breakfast of gravy, bacon, ham, and eggs had my blood pressure sky high for a week. It seems two of those breakfast burritos with egg, cheese, and a little bacon in them keep me from being hungry most of the day with no side effects. I tried something new this week for lunch. Fried Crab cakes with some fresh sliced cukes on the side from my garden. They were very tasty.
I was wondering what people do with all the chicken feet I see here in the stores. When I first moved here I took pictures of them and sent them to people back in California. I figured it was a southern tradition but I didn’t know what they did with them :-). The packages always say “chicken paws”
