Equipment
- 1 Instant pot
Ingredients
- 1 whole Chicken fresh or frozen, bone in
- 2 tbsp Salt sea salt or pink Himalayan are the best!
- 1 bunch Vegetables any vegetables of choice
carrots, onions, and celery are common
Instructions
- If using a frozen chicken, put chicken in the fridge the night before to thaw.
- Fill instant pot to the half full line with filtered water. . If you do not have a half full mark, fill about half the pot.
- Place chicken and giblets (optional) into pot of water
- Add salt and vegetables
- Place on lid and set instant pot to "pressure cook" for 1-3 hours.
- After 1-3 hours, release pressure and remove chicken from instant pot
- Allow chicken broth to cool before pouring into jars.
- Once cooled, pour into plastic containers or mason jars and store in fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Be sure to check in your whole chicken comes with giblets. If it does, it might be in a plastic bag inside the chicken. You'll want to remove the bag before cooking. Be sure you don't boil the plastic bag with your broth!
- Account for pressurizing time when cooking. Instant pots take time to pressurize all that liquid. Allow an extra 30 minutes to an hour to account for the pressurizing process.
- Use a bowl to scoop the chicken out after it's cooked. It will be soft and fall apart easily so using tongs does work but the chicken will 100% fall apart.
- If you want to freeze the broth, freeze in plastic containers.
