Flour is a common thickener and more affordable.

Preheat the oven to the lowest setting, which is 170 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare a half-size baking sheet with parchment paper, securing the corners with binder clips to create a makeshift bowl.

Pour 1 cup of chicken bone broth onto the parchment paper in the baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and allow it to dry for approximately 8 hours.

Rotate the trays halfway through the drying process for even drying.

Check the broth after 8 hours; it should look translucent and be able to crack like a cracker.

If using a dehydrator, set it to 155 degrees Fahrenheit and pour 1 cup of broth onto a fruit roll-up tray.

Dehydrate the broth in the dehydrator for about 10 hours, checking for the same translucent appearance and cracking texture.
