You will get as much richness and depth from this stock after 40 minutes under pressure as you would from 3 hours of simmering on the stovetop. Add the ginger if you want a little bit of heat and brightness—a nice addition to chicken soups and rice pilafs. If you plan on reducing the stock after making it (for example, if making a braise with it), skip the salt, which could become overwhelming.

Preparation
Step 1
Combine chicken wings, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger (if using), thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in Instant Pot. Add 3 quarts water and bring liquid to a simmer, spooning off any foam that rises to surface. (If using a stovetop pressure cooker, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.)
Step 2
Lock lid and cook stock on high pressure 40 minutes, then release pressure manually.
Step 3
Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Add salt (if using), stirring to dissolve. Let cool.
Step 4
Do Ahead: Stock can be made 4 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 6 months.
