Equipment

  • Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 Chicken carcass
  • 2 cup Vegetable scraps
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Water

Instructions

  • If you are using a fresh chicken carcass, backbone other parts coat them in olive oil and season them with the galic powder, onion powder, sea salt, pepper, basil and oregano. If you are using a carcass from a cooked rotiserie chicken you can skip the roasting step and go straight to the instant pot with it.
  • Roast the chicken parts in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You want to make sure they have some nice color to them from the roasting.
  • Take any vegetable scraps you have saved up, fresh or frozen, and put them in the instant pot.
  • Fill the instant pot up with fresh water until it hits the PCMAX line.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, a teaspoon of basil & a teaspoon of oregano.
  • Add salt to taste. Dad uses 1 tablespoon of sea salt.
  • Mix everything and add the lid and set it to sealing.
  • Cook on the soup/broth or manual setting for 30-90 minutes. A 30-minute broth will be a clearer less intense flavor. The longer you go the more intense the flavor will be.
  • When the instant pot is done you can do a quick release and open the instant pot.
  • Now strain the broth through a fine mesh colander leaving you with a wonderful, basically free chicken broth.
