For an even richer flavor, roast the chicken carcass in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes before adding it to the Instant Pot. You can add other vegetables like mushroom stems, leek greens, or parsley stems for added depth of flavor. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute with white vinegar or lemon juice. The acid helps to extract minerals from the bones. For a clearer broth, avoid stirring the ingredients while they are cooking. Be sure to let the pressure release naturally for the best flavor extraction. A quick release can result in a cloudy broth.

Jun 14, 2025The natural pressure release is key! I accidentally did a quick release once, and the broth wasn't nearly as good.
