Baked High-Protein Chicken Broth Recipes
Baking chicken broth delivers a depth of flavor difficult to achieve on the stovetop. The low, slow heat caramelizes aromatics and renders collagen from bones more efficiently, resulting in a protein-dense, richly flavored liquid. This method requires minimal oversight, making it ideal for a hands-off approach to foundational cooking.

Getting Started
- Roast bones first at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes. This caramelizes them, developing a deeper flavor and color before you add water for baking.
- Use a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid for baking broth. A low oven temperature, around 120-135°C (250-275°F), for 6-12 hours prevents rapid evaporation and ensures gentle extraction of collagen and minerals.
- Adding 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar at the start helps extract more minerals and collagen from the bones, boosting the protein content and overall nutrient profile.
- To maximize protein, include collagen-rich chicken parts like feet, necks, or backs. These break down into gelatin and amino acids during the long bake, making the broth thicker and more protein-dense.
