Ingredients
Instructions
-
Rinse your chicken and make sure to remove and giblets or extra pieces from the inside of your bird.
-
Set the stainless steel roasting rack in the bottom of your Instant Pot and place your chicken on top. Pour in 1-2 cups of water and sprinkle with salt and garlic (powder). Close the lid and set your Instant Pot to Pressure Cook on High.
-
General rule of thumb for cooking chicken is 6 minutes per pound for fresh chicken and 10 minutes per pound frozen.
My 6 lb chicken that was fresh from the store took 36 minutes to cook plus the time it takes to pressurize and then release. If it were a frozen chicken it would have taken 60 minutes plus the time it takes to pressurize and release.
Chicken should be between 160-170°F when fully cooked.
-
Remove chicken carefully from your Instant Pot and let sit for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Don’t forget to save your cooking liquid!!
