You made it so complicated, just put all the ingredients plus water, and end it
This is an opportunity to use a meat cleaver if you have one. Use it to whack the chicken wings to smaller bits so that the bone marrow can add to the flavour of your stock.
Use a stainless steel mesh basket insert that has a handle. Pull it out when finished and all the chicken comes with it. No muss, no fuss.
When you are married to a Filipina she wants a garlic flavor that will mug you in a dark alley and steal all your change from you. 😍😍😍😍
Is there anyone more boring than this guy? Geeze
Chicken wings are stupid expensive often times the most expensive piece they used to be thrown away but some jack nut up in New York decided to create a dish called hot wings and now the fucking things are like $4 a pound sometimes. If you want to do this right save your bones buy whole chickens cut them up and just save your bones when you get a good amount of them sear off or bake them off to get some color and then make a stock.
Adds 12cups of water, stays below 10 cups in the pan according to the measurement stripes. Cool trick.
Great video.
I put my chicken in air pot in foil packet. Once it looks like something left in the desert too long. A real mummy look medium to dark brown. Then use in browned onion and garlic. The broth has deeper flavor. In all my cooking recipes it fits perfect.
I don't see much of an advantage of using an Instant Pot over the quick chicken broth method ATK published a few years ago. I do like the idea of using chicken wings, as that keeps me from having to hack up larger chicken parts, as in the old recipe.
Time to make it seems about equal…
“Everybody” touching the bottom of the pot… 👀
How about no MSG! Like what is found in all of the store bought stuff.
Wings are $5.00 a pound where I live. Good video.
More videos from Eric Haessler, please. He explains things so clearly.
Chicken wings inexpensive? What planet are you shopping on?
What?! If you've ever done your own shopping, you'd know wings have always been the most expensive cut of a chicken.
I just let the broth cool, put it in the fridge over night, then remove the fat when it's solid. It's easier.
I LOVE ATK, but not sure what the heck is going on here.
No, actually wings AREN'T a great value (they are actually very expensive vs. most other cuts per lbs). Drumsticks have nearly as much collagen and Thighs w/b cheaper and meatier. Wings are a horrible choice… and actually the best is simply the (essentially free) leftover backbone/carcass from the supermarket chicken you got for dinner (which u don't even need to brown).
The whole "browning" exercise seems overly complex (baking sheet or large pan on stovetop, is no more complex and quicker overall).
Thank goodness you put a warning label on the "hot broth into refrigerator" portion.
Eric was great!
That's an excellent way to make chicken stock and I make mine in a similar fashion. But I take it a step further … I reduced the stock to 1/4 strength and freeze into ice cube trays (which are about 1 oz.), freeze into cubes and then put into a baggy. If I need 1/2 a cup of stock I use 1 cube and "top up" the frozen cube to 1/2 cup; two cubes makes 1 cup of stock.
the inner pot goes round n round n round n round~
It looks like he used an 8 qt IP? I think when you’re using the measurements that he was demonstrating it would be nice to say what size instant pot he is using.
Have to say I'm disappointed in this video. Wings are expensive and have been for the last few years. To say they aren't just shows how out of touch atk has gotten. Plus you should cut the wings at the joints. Have to question their reviews too. Actually enjoying milk street more than atk
So great!!
"Chicken wings are … quite inexpensive." Dude, where do you effing shop? Wings are insanely expensive. Make your chicken stock with leg quarters. You can sometimes get them as cheap as 0.99/pound. I haven't made stock in an instant pot, but I would assume you would need to extend them to use legs instead of wings.
Also… I have never even considered putting garlic in my chicken stock. Who does that? Why would you put such a pungent flavor into a stock that you may use for a lot of different things? If you need garlic in your final dish, add it separately.
Chicken wings ‘were’ inexpensive meat. But Covid doing its whiplash on chicken in general has made wings very expensive, but getting better now after the super bowl.
Covid initially shut down the bars and restaurants where wings are a big deal. Suddenly the market was only to homes, so growers reduced their production.
Then they open back up and growers are behind the curve at getting volume back up. And this isn’t helped by football season and wing parties, in addition to bar and restaurant pressures to stock up big. Poor chickens only have two wings each. People figure 6-8 wings per person. That’s 3-4 chickens.
Work needs to be done to develop breeds of chickens with 4-6 wings each. AND – turkeys with 4 legs each. 😄
Right now, that 3 lbs of wings he has is north of $20. Better be SOME TASTY broth. 🙂
Hoping to see prices back in the $3/lb range for wings. Not holding my breath.
I don't know how old this video is but when you said chicken wings were inexpensive and easy to obtain I LMFAO. 🤣.. $5.99 lb for wings .. A whole chicken is $6.00 – $8.00.
Chicken drums or thighs are way cheaper than wings
Chicken feet are cheaper, when you can find them.
1/2 t of salt. But you forgot the ATK signature 1/8 t of cayenne.
Chicken wings easy to obtain and inexpensive? Yay right !
Fond looks burned
My first response is that chicken wings are the most expensive part of the chicken per pound,
More than thighs, drumsticks or breast.
Wish there was awareness of that.
I don't believe a big outfit like A.T.K. doesn't own a fat separator.
Chicken wings are far from cheap. Drums work better.
I am not sure what world Mr. Haessler lives in but chicken wings are not always easy to find any more especially on a game day weekend. They are also not cheap, with the popularity of wings in bars and such there is short supply, I find any more they cost more per pound than breasts. 3lb would run you a good 18 bucks. Use thighs they are still pretty cheap so are legs. Honestly if you belong to a club store I just buy a 4.99 rotisserie chicken its already browned, boil it for a wonderful broth.
If I don’t have a pressure cooker, how long do I cook the soup? 4 or 6 hours ?
Wow, complete disaster, the test kitchen dropped the ball on this one, never add salt to stock, also you need celery and carrots with the onion. Truth be told you get better collagen extraction the old fashion way, 4 hours or more on the stove but pressure cooker works as a last resort.
Just over an hour? GET REAL! Lets tally up the times given for everything besides the hour under pressure. These are YOUR times, not mine, straight from the video.
5 minutes to get oil hot
20 minutes of browning (two batches, 10 minutes each)
10 minutes to brown the onion (the 30 seconds for the garlic is assumed to be the last part of the onion time)
7 minutes to get to pressure (or 8, or 10… all were mentioned)
15 minutes to release pressure
Total all that up and we get 57 minutes, without any time allocated for the actual work between steps or at the end when the broth is strained.
Just over an hour? No. TWO hours, at least.
(I'm reminded of recipes that say "ready in ten minutes" that involve ten minutes of boiling. No allowance for the time it takes to get the water to boil in the first place.)
This is not 1 hour, this is 2 hours minimum
