Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: Pull all meat off the rotisserie chicken and shred it; set aside. Keep the bones and carcass.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in your Instant Pot (or pressure cooker) over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion, carrot, and crushed garlic. Sauté until lightly browned.

  3. Combine: Add the chicken bones, shredded meat, and water to the pot. Ensure everything fits below the max fill line.

  4. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid and set to high pressure for 30 to 90 minutes (40-60 mins is common).

  5. Release Pressure: Allow the pressure to release naturally (or very slowly).

  6. Strain: Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids, resulting in a clear, rich stock.

Chris Young's Insight

Shredded Meat: Shredding the meat dramatically increases the surface area, extracting flavor faster than leaving it on the bone.

Shorter Cook Time: Pressure cooking breaks down old stock-making rules, allowing for a rich stock in about an hour instead of simmering all day.

Don't Overcook: Extended high-pressure cooking can actually destroy the gelatin, so don't go too long.
