Share:
Ingredients
- 5 pound chicken raw, whole
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ¼ cup butter softened, grass-fed
- ½ onion cut in half
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon cut in half
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- herbs I used lemon thyme and dill, divided, a few sprigs, choice of herbs
- salt
- black pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Clean your chicken and remove the neck and giblets. Take half of the herbs, remove the stems and chop. Mix in the lemon zest, salt and pepper and mix into the butter. Take half of the herbed butter and rub it on top of each breast, under the skin. Add the onion, lemon and remaining herbs to the cavity and tie up the legs using kitchen twine.
- Turn your Instant Pot setting to sauté. Drizzle olive oil and rub on the outside of the chicken. Sprinkle salt and pepper, then add in some olive oil in your Instant Pot and place the chicken inside, breast side down. Allow to sear for a few minutes on each side or until browned. Then remove the chicken and set it on the Instant Pot wire rack and place it back inside.
- Pour in the chicken stock, secure the lid in place and turn the valve to sealing. Set to pressure cook/manual for 25 minutes with a natural release of the pressure. This should take about 15 minutes or so.
- Carefully remove the lid pointing away from you and lift out the chicken. Don't forget to save the carcass to make my One Hour Homemade Chicken Stock! If you're not ready to make the stock, just freeze the carcass until you are ready.
Notes
- If you want your skin to be more browned and crispy, you can finish it off in a 425F oven for about 10 minutes.
