Directions

Step 1
Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 180°F (82.2°C). Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the chicken bones, carrots, celery, and leeks with the olive oil. Transfer to a sheet pan and roast until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Step 3
Transfer all of the bones and vegetables, along with any accumulated juices and brown bits on the sheet pan, into a large zipper lock bag. Add the water, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique.

Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 12 hours. Cover the water bath with plastic wrap to minimize water evaporation. Add water intermittently to keep the bone mixture submerged.
