One of my favorite ways to get deep browning on the chicken is throwing them on a cookie sheet in the oven @ 450° for 45-50 minutes. Then you deglaze the fonde off the sheet pan and pour it over into the pot. I love doing it this way. Lots of browning and less hassle :-)

I would use kitchen shears to cut up the wings before cooking. Easier to sautéed and more bone/cartilage exposed to the water for maximum extraction. Chicken backs work great, too.

[@thomashughes4859]

Great idea ... I have used lard for the sautéeing since I found some serious health drawbacks to "veggie" oils. I have been making broth in pressure cookers since I got married. My wife is Mexican, and she cooks almost everything in those things! :D

[@ericneal8582]

Since other people are throwing in extra tips let me add mine: before the browning step, boil your chicken wings in water with about two tablespoons of vinegar for about 10 minutes. It'll boil a lot of blood out of the wings while still preserving the collagen and meat. They'll also be hot when they come out of that boiling liquid so the water will evaporate and you'll have dryer tighter skin for the browning process. Also, pressure cook for about 140 minutes. That way, you will get all of the collagen and get a really rich deep broth. Let your pressure cooker release naturally which will take 25 or 30 minutes. You'll end up with a clearer broth / stock. Lastly, if you have one of those expandable colanders, flip it upside down over all of the solids in the pot and then pour everything out through a strainer into your final receptacle. It will also help keep the broth clear and really fresh tasting.

[@donnapoff8822]

I make chicken broth (and vegetable broth and garlic broth) in my Instant Pot all the time, and it works great! I like this recipe because it is simple. I usually add the solids, and then add the water on top. That makes it easier to use a trick I learned from a friend. If you have a large steamer basket for the Instant Pot, you can put the chicken wings in the basket and put the basket in the pot before adding the water. That way, when you are ready to pull everything out, the solids lift out with little effort.

[@maydaygarden]

I do that with my stovetop PC. I get the bulk of the contents and it's easier to pour the remainder out.

[@angelacastagna3824]

[@Dreadnought242]

Been making chicken soup and chicken stock for decades, and while I appreciate the InstantPot and pressure cookers in general for their timesaving nature, what I don't like is the inability to get a truly clear stock when using them. You obviously can't skim the "raft" from the sealed pot and even straining with cheese cloth and a chinoise won't give the same clarity that constant attendance will. And it doesn't take four hours to make good chicken stock - it takes about two if you're going for volume. Four if you want a demiglace. Honestly, having done both, for a stock, it's worth the extra effort. For a soup, I will use a pressure cooker and strain.

[@nancyleitner6396]

I do the same thing every time I bring home a rotisserie chicken. I throw all the bones, etc except skin into a basket in my instapot with an onion, 2 bay leafs, one carrot, one celery rib and a tsp of apple cider vinegar and 5 cups of water. Then process for 45 minutes on high. Makes the best bone broth with all the collagen.

For browning the chicken it might be a better idea to broil all at once on a quarter sheet or roasting pan. Instant pots are amazing but not good for browning. Lately chicken wings are expensive as hell, I have to disagree about them being cheap. I think the least expensive pre-cut chicken part would be leg quarters

Before browning the wings, wouldn't it make more sense to first split each raw wing at each of the two joints? This could allow for more even surface browning, perhaps an increased fond residue and more wings per fry batch...?

[@lizzieboredom3775]

I think I would cut them. Also, while I love the convenience of the instant pot, I think I would roast the wings in the oven and then saute the onion in the same pan and deglaze, and then dump into the pressure cooker. Also I usually have some elderly carrots and celery hanging out in my fridge so they would definitely go in.

[@carywilson6435]

I should add that throwing in some chicken necks - skin on - would "kick this up a notch". (Brings back memories of me as a child, hanging around by the stove while Mom's big chicken-ina-pot cooled, waiting to pounce and fish out these delectable morsels...)

Honestly, the volume of pot you used to need to make chicken broth at home always deterred me from doing it. With this Instant Pot method and portioning out leftovers for the freezer, I could absolutely see myself doing this. I bet the taste and consistency are spot on.

[@set921]

Agree. With the instant pot, you can use way less water and have it more concentrated.

[@hikebikeeat6552]

I am always make small batches of chicken broth with leftover bones. All you need to remember is the ratio 1:2 of bones to water, which is what he did, 12 cups of water is roughly six pounds and then 3 pounds of wings.

[@TheOriginalRick]

Several points in its favor. You can keep bones from various leftovers in the freezer and when you have enough of a collection you can make broth from them. For example, when we pick up a rotisserie chicken from Costco the leftover bones eventually winds up with its brethren in the IP for bone broth. We do the same for any beef and pork bones we have. I just cooked a couple of pounds of chicken wings in the IP this afternoon for 30 minutes. Took the wings out and deboned them to use the meat in a potato soup for tomorrow, and the bones went right back into the IP. Added a few more goodies from the freezer, topped it off with water, and I am now in the process of pressure cooking them for 8 hours. Don't have anything else to do, so I just let the IP run and run and run to maximize the good stuff I can squeeze out of the bones and other leftovers. Basically it is free broth from stuff that would have been either thrown away or composted. BTW, after cooking the bones for so long they basically fall apart in the compost pile. Also, you can tailor it to your taste (and it's easy enough to experiment with multiple times.) This takes away somewhat from the "consistency" but once you hit upon just what you want, keep it that way from then on.

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Chicken wings are not inexpensive. I would section the chicken wings, to more easily get them browned all over. I don't have a pressure cooker, but this looks like a great recipe.

[@set921]

Not expensive, but delicious. Still not wasting them for stock. I'll use a carcass instead.

Right might as well skip this and buy the stock, although it wont be quite as tasty.

[@stainlesssteellemming3885]

05:00 I think there's a continuity (i.e. "one I made earlier") error here.. After adding 12 cups of water in total, the scale on the inside of the InstaPot reads only 9 cups. But after straining, we magically have 3 full quarts (i.e. 12 cups) of cooked broth.

[@TitoTimTravels]

Wings work well, but they are my favorite part to eat, so I rarely use them for stock. I buy whole chickens and cut my quarters for freezing, and later grilling. I use the backbone, and neck for stock (I usually debone the thighs and breasts as well). The neck has lots of great flavor, but is usually too much trouble to eat - perfect for stock. Our whole chickens always have the full neck, and quite often the head. 😎

I just save bones and carcass from when I make roast chicken or rotisserie chicken from store. Add all pieces, skin, gelatin to pot. I add celery, carrots, onion with skin (skin adds color), halved head of garlic, fresh parsley, peppercorns, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. The vinegar breaks down the bones and extracts collagen. Cover with water and pressure cook for 90 min. You could do less time.

[@mistercharlie8827]

Two issues here that others have noted but I want to weigh in on them also. The MOST important one is the “Safety Note” about cooling the stock to room temp before refrigerating. This is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ADVICE AND A SURE FIRE WAY TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO GET FOOD POISONING. As a chef for many years I can tell you with assurance that allowing the food to stay between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (4 - 60 C) is exactly how you allow food-borne bacteria to multiply. Placing hot food in the fridge has not been a problem since we switched from ice to electricity. Best practice would be to place the hot stock container in an ice bath until it cools to around 150 F / 65 C, then cover and put in the fridge. Pouring it into shallow pans, covering with film wrap and refrigerating would also work. Bottom line - the food needs to be BELOW 40 F / 4 C within 4 hours. Invest in an instant read thermometer so you don’t have to guess. ATK holds themselves up to be the final word in food science. Shame on you for perpetrating this old wives tale. The other issue is minor - either the scale inside the Instant pot is inaccurate or the presenter mis-stated the amount of water. After pouring in “12 cups” the scale reads 9 cups.

[@nancyr137]

Eric was great!

[@priayief]

That's an excellent way to make chicken stock and I make mine in a similar fashion. But I take it a step further ... I reduced the stock to 1/4 strength and freeze into ice cube trays (which are about 1 oz.), freeze into cubes and then put into a baggy. If I need 1/2 a cup of stock I use 1 cube and "top up" the frozen cube to 1/2 cup; two cubes makes 1 cup of stock.

[@ohdogwow2]

Chicken wings were inexpensive five years ago, now they are more expensive per pound than "dark" meat. There are reasons for this that I won't go into now. I understand the collagen part, but there is plenty of collagen in skin. The skin on thighs and drumsticks are sufficient. I mention this because wings are crazy expensive right now and my local Kroger concern has limited supply at stupid prices, yay drinking holidays at sports bars where wings are served. I can do this with more resilient chicken parts for less with dark meat right now. But hey, if "white" meat is your thing: knock yourself out. But this is a video about broth, not a final dish. So who cares if you use white or dark meat. Cheers :)

[@daenas]

In what world are chicken wings a cheaper cut of chicken now days?? The price is usually double that of legs/thighs and slightly higher than breasts. For me, I use chicken feet, extra cheap, and chicken backs. The feet will provide so much collagen while the backs will provide the flavor and substance of the broth. And while I'm at it, get yourself one of those extra large metal clips for large stacks of papers at your office supply store. You can use it to clip the liner to the IP base on top and it'll hold the liner in place so it won't spin constantly.

[@maydaygarden]

A whole chicken I cut up myself is the cheapest way to go. I set aside the breast and thigh/leg pieces to use in other recipes. Before I make stock, I brown the carcass & wings in the oven, remove the wings for a snack. Prepackaged wings are out of control. $17.50 for 3 lb pkg. at my local store.

Very expensive chicken parts! Anyone looked at wing prices lately?

[@jasonzee]

Where is he located that wings are "inexpensive"? Wing prices by me went from $1.99 to 4.99 per lb since the wing shortage and inflation

My pressure cooker is most often used for doggie chicken soup - chicken, carrots, celery..sometimes fresh cilantro or parsley. My pups go nuts over it; I add it to their dry food at dinner time. I double cook the bones and decant the fat.mNo garlic or onion for them though.

Instant pot has a soup/broth function. I use rotisserie chicken bones roasted in oven with quartered onions, celery, carrots or leftover veggies and garlic. creating for additional boost of flavor. Skin the chicken if raw if you can to lessen the fat

It's also just as fat free to cook it with the skin and skim the fat off at the end - less work and you lose a lot of flavor leaving it out (there's more than fat in the skin and fat).

I’m going to guess this video was shot pre-pandemic because chicken wings are absolutely not inexpensive! A few weeks ago i saw them priced at $24 for a 2lb package!

It was Super Bowl time. Wings were marked up.

[@carkarlaw]

That's exactly what I thought. Wings are too precious. Even the bones costs so much more nowadays.

[@georgecraig4331]

@@orchidlife9482 wings have been the most expensive part of the chicken for years.

I watched in mounting existential horror as Eric disposed of perfectly good Schmaltz with some good gribbles (gribines?) I can never recall how to spell that)? Still thanks for the tips!!!!
