Instant Pot Chicken Broth
The Instant Pot takes the effort out of homemade broth; our version takes just 10 minutes hands-on time. Chicken wings, which contain ample collagen, yield a rich, full-bodied broth. Use this as a base for passatelli en brodo, or in any recipe that calls for store-bought or homemade chicken broth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to a month.

Tip
Don’t forget to allow a 20-minute natural pressure release after cooking is complete. If the steam is released any sooner, the pressure remaining in the pot may cause liquid to spout out of the vent.

Absolutely delicious
This is as good as a consommé. My only issue - with chicken wings priced at $8 a pound this is an expensive broth to make. Broth at $16 a quart is considered pricey at my house. For cooking, I will stick with Swanson's Chicken Broth [$3/quart] which got high scores on an ATK testing. I'll save this treat for sipping in a moment of zen. With luck, the price of chicken wings will drop.

Wing substitutes
Regarding the concern about the ridiculous cost of chicken wings - legs are often much less expensive and work nearly as well as wings (maybe better). I’ve used both and love it either way.
Hi. I was under the impression that homemade chicken stock could be frozen for quite a bit longer than a month. (If not, I'm in trouble.) Is there something about this stock that makes apt to go bad faster?
Hi David -
We always stay on the conservative side of freezing since we wouldn't want you to make one of our recipes, freeze it, and then be disappointed in the results. That being said, we think this would probably be fine for 3 months or so. Just make sure to cool completely before freezing and store in an airtight container leaving at least 1/2" at the top to account for expansion (if there's more than 1/2", press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the broth and then add the cover of the container to prevent freezer burn). Just keep in mind that the freezer zaps flavor from food so the longer it stays in the freezer the less flavorful it will ultimately be.
Best,

This recipe makes an excellent broth! I did add a bit of carrot, celery, and black peppercorns to the pot. So easy too!
