Chicken bone broth in a slow cooker with pastured whole bird. Is it ok if I put raw acv in at the beginning?
I'm using a chicken bone broth recipe by the Holistic Squid. I was suppose to cook the chicken for 3 to 4 hrs until meat is cooked through, remove the meat, and then out the bones back into the slow cooker with 1 tbs of raw apple cider vinegar. I accidentally put the vinegar in at the beginning, will it the broth be ok???

My routine is to but whole chickens. Then I remove the backbone and wing tips. I put them along with the neck into the freezer. I add the bones from whatever I do with the rest of the chicken. I have about 3-3.5 lbs of bones after 2 chickens. That's the perfect amount for my 6.5 qt slow cooker. Then I toss in onion and carrot scraps that I also save in the freezer. I add 1 TBS of raw ACV and 8 peppercorns. 20-24 hours later, the bones are mush and it's ready. After I strain it and defat it the next day, I sometimes reduce it down on the stove and freeze it in small containers.
If you are adding the vinegar to the broth to extract the extra nutrition from the bones, then it might be a good idea to add some more in at the 'usual' time as well.
Let us know how it turns out.
