Description
This Instant Pot Whole Chicken is juicy, tender, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Whole Chicken
- Seasonings of Choice
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Place one cup of water in your Instant Pot and place your chicken right inside. You can place your chicken on a steam rack depending on how big your chicken is.
- Add any seasonings you want on top of your chicken (this is optional).
- Put the lid on and set the Instant Pot to Manual (if you don’t have a manual button, put it on pressure cook or high pressure) and adjust the time.
- For a thawed 3 to 4 pound chicken, set the time for 30 minutes. For a frozen 3 to 4 pound chicken, set the time for 50-60 minutes.
- Sometimes I like to let my chicken stay in the pot and steam to release naturally for 15 minutes. But if you are in a hurry, turn the knob to venting and let the steam release.
- Then, pull out the chicken. If you want your chicken to be browned, put it in the oven on broil for a few minutes until the skin is browned and crisp.
Notes
- Feel free to customize with your favorite seasonings for added flavor.
