Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Chicken Stock (Bone Broth).

1. Step 1

   Start by giving your onions a rough chop without peeling or trimming them.

2. Step 2

   Slice the celery and carrots, and give the garlic cloves a good smash to release their flavor.

3. Step 3

   Next, place the chicken carcasses into your trusty 6-quart Instant Pot.

4. Step 4

   Add in the chopped onions, celery, carrots, and smashed garlic, along with bay leaves, soy sauce, cider vinegar, peppercorns, marjoram, and thyme.

5. Step 5

   Don’t worry about making it look perfect; just loosely pack everything down.

6. Step 6

   Now, pour in enough water to reach the maximum fill line of your Instant Pot.

7. Step 7

   Secure the lid tightly, ensuring it’s locked in place.

8. Step 8

   Select the high-pressure setting according to your Instant Pot’s instructions and set the timer for 2 and a half hours.

9. Step 9

   As the magic happens, allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

10. Step 10

    When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 45 minutes—this is where the flavors really meld together.

    Once that’s done, carefully unlock and remove the lid.
