Three mason jars of homemade chicken stock with Instant Pot in backround

Homemade Instant Pot Chicken Stock

I’m a big fan of making this simple, delicious chicken stock homemade in the Instant Pot

Partially because it only takes pennies to make but mostly because the flavor is far better than what you’d buy at the supermarket

Warning – these photos are not pretty!

Bones are bones…

I had a leftover chicken carcass from an oven roasted chicken

I washed, but didn’t peel, 2-3 carrots and celery stalks, one medium onion & one head of garlic, cut in half

Since we’re going to strain this stock a few times, skins and peels don’t matter much, they actually add to the flavor

I take this opportunity to use the bits and pieces of the bay leaves that I can’t use for sauces, about 1 tablespoons’ worth and a few sprigs of fresh thyme

And some Everyday Seasonings… 1 teaspoon each of kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder

(I reserved about a cup of meat from this carcass to use in my Chicken Tortellini Soup)

Put everyone in a pot and cover with 10 cups of water

I cooked this batch in an electric pressure cooker for 30 minutes since I wanted to use the stock for dinner

Alternate cooking methods are in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours or a stock pot on the stove over medium high for roughly 2 hours

All the delicious flavors have melded together and the stock is now ready to be strained

  Place a strainer inside of a large stockpot (I usually do this in the sink) and pour in the stock

  That removes the large solids, now I like to run the stock through a fine sieve to remove the smaller particles

Re-season the stock to taste with kosher salt and black pepper

      And there you have it.  Simple, delicious stock that you can be proud to say is homemade!

 

You’ll never throw away the leftover bones again!
