Great Shelf life
Kirkland Signature’s Sipping Bone Broth can be stored at room temperature for up to 12 months but will need to be refrigerated for 7 days once opened.
Broth vs Stock
A rather simple definition or explanation of the differences between broth and stock is that stock is made with bones and chicken carcass, while broth is made with bones, meat, vegetables, and even seasonings.
Stock is usually left unseasoned and meant to be used as an ingredient in another dish, while broth is considered the final product and can be consumed as is.
Chicken Bone Broth vs Bone Broth - Fancy Marketing Name?
After way too much time researching the difference, I still only have a general idea of the difference between chicken broth and chicken bone broth. There is a lot of conflicting information out there.
There are definitely some general characteristic differences, and if I could sum it up, it would be that bone broth is boiled for a longer period, has a darker color, has a more distinct and robust flavor, and is healthier.
There is an opposing view that chicken bone broth has no significant difference from regular chicken broth and is just a clever marketing name.Â
If anybody can really clear it up, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below.Â
Costco Cost Comparison
How Much Does the Costco Chicken Bone Broth Cost?
Costco sells their 6 cartons of Kirkland Signature Organic Chicken Bone Broth for $18.99. Each carton is priced at $3.17 each or $0.10 per ounce.
This is definitely on the higher end for chicken broth, as Costco sells Swanson chicken broth for $0.05 per ounce.
Costco vs. The Competition
Sam’s Club sells their Member’s Mark Bone Broth for $15.99 or $2.66 per 32-ounce carton. This is, unfortunately, better than Costco’s price for the Kirkland Signature Chicken Bone Broth.
Tom Thumb, my local grocery store, sells their 32-ounce O Organic Chicken Bone Broth for $4.99. This is significantly higher than Costco’s price!
Chicken Sipping Bone Broth Taste Test
Better When Warm!
Costco calls this a sipping bone broth, so there is no better taste test than purely drinking it.
I’ve tasted the drink cold, at room temperature, and hot, and far and away; my favorite was when the drink was sufficiently warmed up.
Strong Smell
The smell of the chicken bone broth is powerful and smells quite lovely. Its a very high-quality chicken broth smell, and I could easily distinguish a traditional chicken broth from this Kirkland Signature chicken bone broth.
Solid Taste
For taste, I found the Costco bone broth to be just ok. The flavor is strong and much more full than a regular chicken broth, but it’s only enjoyable and not absolutely delicious.
Taste Improvement Tips!
To improve the bone broth’s flavor when sipping, I think adding a bit of salt and even some pepper for additional taste is essential.Â
This transforms the average-tasting chicken bone broth into something that is genuinely wonderful.Â
The flavors become more intense, and the drink is downright good.
The Costco bone broth is fantastic when warmed up and flavored with salt and pepper. The broth has excellent flavor and is super easy to drink. I can see this easily becoming one of my winter comfort drinks!
Costco Bone Broth Uses
While Costco does call this a sipping broth, the chicken bone broth can be used in a variety of ways.
Kettle and Fire has a list of 15 great uses for chicken bone broth. My favorite uses are as a soup base, added into rice, and as a bbq sauce.Â
This is a great way to add some flavor and sneak in some additional protein!

First of all let me say I enjoyed your article. Regarding the people who say bone broth is not much different than regular broth I would say they must not have read the nutrition label. As you already mentioned bone broth provides 9 grams of protein. On average chicken broth only has 1 gram of protein. I also noticed a significant difference in the calorie content 45 vs. 10 per serving. My guess, regarding the extra calories, is that bone broth is probably boiled longer and therefore is a more condensed and richer product. I don’t mind the extra calories because they come from a nutritious product that provides a natural source of collagen.
