Notes
- * IP = Instant Pot and this recipe was developed in a 6 quart IP.
- ** if the chicken is over-crowded in the IP it will steam vs searing the skin on the outside. The end effect is that the chicken skin should be crispy. To obtain this brown the chicken in batches half and then the remaining half. If your IP is larger you may be able to fit all of them in one go.
