Bella’s Jiggly Bone Broth
This specialized bone broth is designed to achieve maximum "jiggle," a sign of high gelatin and collagen content extracted from the connective tissues of oxtail and chicken drumsticks. By combining beef and poultry, you create a complex flavor profile that is as nutrient-dense as it is delicious. Once chilled, this broth transforms into a firm jelly that can be portioned out and easily reheated, providing a quick, restorative boost for gut health and joint support.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 50 minutes mins
- 1.5 pounds oxtail
- 1 to 2 pounds chicken drumsticks
- Water enough to cover the meat
Place the oxtail pieces and chicken drumsticks into the inner stainless steel pot of an Instant Pot.
Pour in just enough water to fully cover the meat. If you prefer a larger quantity of broth, you may add additional water, ensuring you stay below the maximum fill line.
Secure the lid and set the steam release valve to the sealing position. Select the Pressure Cook or Manual setting and set the timer for 50 minutes on high pressure.
Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally. Carefully remove the lid and use a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the liquid.
Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass storage container. Place the container in the refrigerator to chill overnight until the broth reaches a firm, jiggly, gelatinous consistency.
To serve, scoop out the desired amount of gelatin and reheat it gently in a small saucepan over low heat until it returns to a hot liquid form. The broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
