Instant Pot Frozen Whole Chicken Ingredients:
  • 1.2 Kg Frozen Whole Chicken
  • 120 ml white wine
  • 1 Tbsp chicken seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp thyme
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Tie your chicken legs together with some string. Place 1 cup/240ml of water in the instant pot inner pot, along with ½ cup/120ml of white wine. Mix in the seasonings. Or alternatively add 2 cups/480ml of chicken stock.
  2. Place the trivet in your instant pot and add your frozen whole chicken.
  3. Season your chicken generously with salt and pepper. Place the lid on your instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 30 minutes on either manual or pressure cook.
  4. When it beeps, do a quick pressure release before releasing pressure. Check the thickest part of the chicken breast to make sure it is fully cooked and then serve.

Notes

  • Liquid. I always strain the liquid and use it for future chicken stock. Though you can do this after eating and once it has cooled down.
  • Replace. Step one is an alternative if you don’t have your own chicken stock. You are basically flavouring your water with wine and seasonings. You can skip this if you have chicken stock available.
