Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds of chicken bones necks, wing tips, backs, or a whole chicken carcass
- 1 onion quartered
- 2 carrots roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic smashed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- Water enough to cover the ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: If you’re using a whole chicken, break it down into pieces. Place the chicken bones or pieces in the Instant Pot.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the quartered onion, chopped carrots, celery, smashed garlic, apple cider vinegar, bay leaf, salt, and black peppercorns to the Instant Pot.
- Fill with Water: Pour enough water into the Instant Pot to cover all the ingredients. Be sure not to exceed the maximum fill line.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to the sealing position, and select the ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ setting. Set the timer to 120 minutes (2 hours) for a rich broth.
- Natural Release: Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally. This may take some time, but it helps extract maximum flavor from the bones and vegetables.
- Strain the Broth: Once the pressure has fully released, carefully open the Instant Pot. Using tongs, remove the larger bones and vegetable pieces. Then, strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pot.
- Cool and Store: Let the broth cool to room temperature before transferring it to containers. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
- This Instant Pot Chicken Bone Broth is not only easy to make but also rich in flavor and nutrients. Use it as a base for soups, stews, or enjoy a warm cup on its own for a nourishing experience. 🍲✨
Notes
Note:
Chicken bone broth can develop a gelatinous consistency, similar to Jello,
when cooled 
due to the presence of collagen, which is released from the bones during the cooking process. The broth will return to a fully liquid state once it’s heated.
Storing The bone broth can be stored in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Frozen broth can be kept up to a year. I use these glass mason jars to store my homemade bone broth.
