Instant Pot Chicken Stock Recipe
Today I'm showing you how to make chicken stock the quick and easy way. My chicken stock recipe uses a pressure cooker for a savory, slow-cooked chicken stock flavor in just 2 hours! No more babysitting a simmering pot all day long! Recipe includes a how-to video.

Ingredients
- 1 chicken carcass I use a picked-over rotisserie or roaster chicken or 3 lbs chicken wings
- 1 medium yellow onion cut in half (leave peel on)
- 2 carrots cut into thirds
- 2 celery stalks with leaves cut into thirds
- 5 garlic cloves halved (peels intact)
- ¼ cup parsley leaves and stems (small bunch of parsley)
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 8-10 cups water
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to your pressure cooker, being sure to not fill water above the “MAX FILL” line on the pressure cooker.
- Select manual setting, high pressure, and turn vent to “sealing”. Set time for 45 minutes.
- Once 45 minutes has passed, allow pressure to release naturally.
- Discard chicken remains and large vegetable pieces. Strain stock through a fine mesh strainer, removing and discarding all solid pieces/scraps that remain.
- Allow to cool before portioning into airtight containers and refrigerating. After overnight refrigeration you may easily skim the fat cap off the surface of the stock before using.

Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Homemade chicken stock may also be frozen. I like to refrigerate the stock in a large airtight container overnight, skim the fat off the next day, and then portion it into these silicone molds that I will then freeze it in. Once frozen, stock will keep for several months.
