Gelatin Gummies with Chicken Feet Bone Broth and Grass Fed Beef Gelatin Powder
Bone broth has long been valued in traditional cultures as a deeply nourishing food, especially for gut health, joints, skin, and overall vitality. These bone broth gelatin gummies are a gentle and approachable way to enjoy the benefits of collagen-rich broth in a form that feels simple and comforting. Made with homemade chicken feet bone broth and grass fed beef gelatin powder, these gummies are uncolored, additive free, and rooted in whole food wellness.
Bone broth is rich in collagen, gelatin, amino acids, and minerals that support connective tissue throughout the body. Collagen plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin, joints, tendons, and the lining of the gut. Gelatin, which forms when collagen is cooked down, is especially soothing for digestion and may help support gut integrity over time. Many people find bone broth grounding and restorative, particularly during periods of stress, fatigue, or healing.
Chicken Feet Make the Best Bone Broth
Chicken feet are one of the most collagen-dense parts of the bird, which is why they have been used traditionally in broths across many cultures. While the idea of buying chicken feet can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable for some people at first, they are incredibly effective for creating a naturally gelatinous broth. When simmered slowly, chicken feet release large amounts of collagen, gelatin, and beneficial amino acids like glycine and proline. These compounds support joint comfort, skin elasticity, and nervous system balance. Once cooked down into broth, there is no visible reminder of the feet themselves, only a rich, nourishing liquid that sets beautifully when cooled.
Grass Fed Beef Gelatin Powder Firms Up Gummies
Adding grass fed beef gelatin powder boosts the collagen content even further while keeping the recipe simple and consistent, and it also gives the gummies a boost when it comes to firming them up. Using an unflavored, uncolored powder ensures the gummies stay clean and neutral, allowing the natural sweetness to shine through without artificial ingredients. This approach supports a more complete collagen amino acid profile and makes it easier to enjoy the benefits of bone broth regularly without needing to prepare large batches every time.
If you desire, these gummies can be lightly sweetened using a sweetener of your choice, such as raw honey, maple syrup, or another gentle natural option that works for you! The sweetness balances the savory notes of the broth while keeping the recipe approachable for both adults and children. Because they are uncolored and free from artificial flavors, they retain a simple, earthy quality that reflects their nourishing purpose. But, feel free to add some natural food coloring!
Gelatin Gummies with Chicken Feet Bone Broth and Grass Fed Beef Gelatin Powder Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken feet
- Water, enough to fully cover the chicken feet, around 12 – 13 cups
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- A few pinches of salt
- Beef gelatin powder, 8 tablespoons (1 tablespoon per cup of finished broth)
- Optional: natural sweetener of choice, such as honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Place the chicken feet into a large pot and cover completely with water. Add the apple cider vinegar and allow the mixture to sit for about 20 minutes before heating. This helps draw minerals and collagen from the bones. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then add a few pinches of salt.
Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let the broth cook for about 5 or 6 hours. Skim any foam from the surface as needed.
Once finished, place a strainer over a large bowl. Remove the chicken feet and ladle the broth through the strainer into the bowl. You should have around 7-8 cups of broth.
While the broth is still warm, add 1 tablespoon of beef gelatin powder per cup of broth. Whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved. If using a sweetener or flavoring, stir it in at this stage to taste.
Allow the mixture to mostly cool, then pour into silicone molds or onto a lined sheet pan. Transfer to the refrigerator and let set overnight.
The next day, remove the gummies from the molds or slice into shapes if using a sheet pan. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
How to Use and Store
These bone broth gelatin gummies can be enjoyed daily as a nourishing snack or wellness support. They store well in the refrigerator for several days and are an easy way to support collagen intake without sipping broth. Whether you are focused on gut health, joint support, or simply adding more traditional foods into your routine, these gummies offer a simple and comforting way to do so.
What I Love About this Bone Broth Gummy Recipe
What I love most about this bone broth gummy recipe is how it captures all the nourishing power of traditional bone broth in a form that feels simple, approachable, and even a little fun. It is packed with collagen and gelatin to support gut health, joints, and skin, yet it is easy to consume, especially for people who do not always feel like sipping broth. The recipe itself is straightforward and forgiving, making it accessible even if you are new to cooking with gelatin. I also love how customizable it is. You can pour the mixture into fun silicone molds or spread it onto a sheet pan and cut it into shapes, just like old school jello jigglers. That playful element makes this recipe enjoyable for both kids and adults while still staying rooted in whole food wellness.
