I wanted to share this basic technique with my friends here at BYC. You can use this for any chicken but I needed to use up a few silkies I had in the freezer, was running low on stock that I use in almost all my recipes and dog food, and needed a couple pounds of cleaned silkie meat for another recipe I want to try.
My pressure cooker is 7.2 quart so three silkies fit just perfect. I like to use a trio in this application because it's just the right amount of chicken and it prevents the trio from breeding.
Next I add the birds, an onion or two, some garlic, parsley, salt and pepper to the cooker. I then fill it 3/4 of the way up. You never want to fill a pressure cooker to the top.
Now I bring it up to temp on high. Once the vent starts releasing steam I back down to medium high and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Then turn off heat and let it cool off and depressurize on it's own.
Ahhhh. Doesn't that look good and rich?
Now I strain the stock, put it in a bowl to cool and put the meat on a cookie sheet. It cools quicker that way and is easier to clean.
I then set up a few dishes. One for good meat, one for the dogs, and one for bones.
Once cleaned this is the what's left over. Bottom left is 1.5 pounds of cleaned meat ready for chicken tacos, chicken salad, or in my case, my next recipe. The bowl on the bottom right is for the dogs and the top right are the bones.
