Leftover chicken bones: What do you do with them?🐓

I love making a simple chicken soup with my leftover rotisserie chicken bones. I can drink a bowl of this every morning or add it to my rice/noodles😋😋

Because Costco rotisserie chicken is already seasoned, I barely season this soup and it was already so flavorful!🫙🧂

✎ Ingredients:

*rotisserie chicken bones (optional to keep chicken skin)

*1.2-1.5 L of water

*5 garlic

*1/4 large onion (sliced)

*2 tbsp sake

*salt to taste

Directions:

1. Slice onion and smash garlic cloves.

2. Sauté chicken bones on low heat until fragrant (about 3-5 mins).

3. Add in onion, garlic, sake, and hot water.

4. Simmer on low for 2-5 hours.

5. Strain the soup from the bones.

Enjoy right away or store in the fridge/freezer!😮‍💨
