Instant Pot has brought so much convenience to making bone broth in a short amount of time. To make a classic beef bone broth, check out the Instant Pot Beef Bone Broth recipe. To make an all-purpose Asian chicken stock, check out the Instant Pot Shiitake Ginger Chicken Bone Broth recipe. 

What Makes Chicken Bone Broth Gelatinous?

The key to make gelatinous chicken bone broth is to use plenty of chicken feet in the broth. The skin, tendon and ligament of chicken feet are rich in collagen. When cooked, collagen turns into gelatin, which makes the broth gelatinous.

As collagen being the major building block our body needs, gelatinous bone broth nourishes our skin, hair, gut lining and joints.

When I run out of supply of homemade chicken bone broth, I use a chicken bone broth powder. I also supplement my diet with collagen from time to time.

How to Use Chicken Bone Broth?

Chicken bone broth is essential in many healing diets, such as paleo, GAPS, keto, whole 30.

Besides sipping on bone broth directly, you can incorporate the healing bone broth in a variety of dishes. Here are some tasty recipes you can make with chicken bone broth. 

  • Sausage & Mussels in Tomato Broth (Paleo, Low-Carb)
  • Low-Carb Saffron Cauliflower Rice Risotto
  • Turkey Quinoa Pumpkin Soup (with a Bone Broth Base)
  • Shredded Chipotle Beef Tacos

Do I Have to Use 8-qt Instant Pot?

This recipe is specifically written for 8-qt Instant Pot. I highly recommend using the larger 8-qt Instant Pot for making broth, because you can produce more broth in every batch. 

What if I only have a 6-qt Instant Pot? You can still make this recipe, but be sure to reduce the ingredients proportionally to fit into your pot.

  5. Rinse the chicken carcass pieces and chicken feet to remove stuck on impurities. Place the clean chicken carcass and chicken feet into the inner pot.
  6. Add rest of the ingredients and water into the inner pot. Do not exceed the maximum line.
