Instant Pot Chicken Stock (Bone Broth)
Cook Time: 160 minutes
Chicken Broth Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium onions
- 2 stalks celery, with leaves
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 pounds chicken carcass
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- teaspoon dried marjoram
- teaspoon dried thyme
- 8 cups water (or as needed)
Directions:
- Without peeling or trimming any ends, prepare the vegetables: roughly chop the onions, slice the celery and carrots, and smash the garlic cloves.
- Place the chicken carcasses into a 6-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot). Add the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorns, marjoram, and thyme. Loosely pack the ingredients down.
- Pour enough water into the cooker to reach the maximum fill level. Close and lock the lid of the cooker.
- Select high pressure on the cooker according to the manufacturers instructions. Set the timer for 2 hours. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
- Once the cooking time is up, use the natural release method to release the pressure, following the manufacturers instructions. Let it sit for 45 minutes.
- Unlock and remove the lid. Use a mesh strainer to strain out the solids from the liquid. Let the broth cool, and if you prefer, remove the solidified fat layer from the top.
