For a richer flavor, roast the chicken carcass before making the broth. Adjust the amount of water depending on the size of your Instant Pot, ensuring that the ingredients are covered but not exceeding the maximum fill line. Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs to customize the flavor of your broth, such as parsley stems, mushroom stems, or ginger. The gel consistency of the broth indicates a high collagen content, which is beneficial for joint health and skin elasticity. Refrigerating the broth will make it gel.
