Instant Pot Slow-Cooked Chicken and Broth

This is the simplest of methods for making chicken broth and tender, juicy
chicken at the same time. The Instant Pot makes stewing meats so convenient! By
this method, which I just think of as rather lazy cooking, there will be chicken
skin for those who like it, and bones for bone broth after.

Instructions

1 Remove the chicken from its wrapping and pull out any giblets.
2 Place the chicken with breast side down in the Instant Pot.
3 Pour the quart of water into the pot.
4 Dribble the vinegar over the chicken and into the water.
5 Sprinkle the salt and herb-pepper blend over the chicken.
6 Cook in the Instant Pot for 8 hours on Normal Slow-Cook setting.
7 Allow to cool at least 30 minutes.
8 Pour off the broth (I use a Mason Jar) – this will allow the chicken to cool
faster so that you can debone it. There should be just over 1 quart of broth of
this “first broth” as well as 5 cups dark meat and 5 cups white meat.
