For a richer flavor, roast the chicken bones in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. Feel free to add other aromatics to the broth, such as a bay leaf, a few sprigs of parsley, or a clove of garlic. The strained broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Skimming off fat can be expedited by cooling in the fridge.
