Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth or beef broth
  • 1 4 to 5 lb whole body chicken, see note*
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the oil, minced fresh garlic, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, dried rosemary, dried basil, and sea salt in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
  2. Rinse the whole chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  3. Plug in your Instant Pot, insert the wire rack, and pour in 2 cups of chicken broth or beef broth.
  4. Transfer the chicken to your instant pot. Pour the spice slurry over the chicken and rub it all over the chicken with your hands.
  5. Secure the lid of your Instant Pot and press the Manual button. Pressure cook on high for 6 minutes per pound. For 4.5 pounds, go with 30 minutes. Keep the vent to the sealed position.
  6. Allow Instant Pot to go into its Keep Warm (natural release) mode for 20 minutes after it runs its course. Release any remaining pressure using the release valve.
  7. Open the Instant Pot and allow steam to dissipate for a few minutes.
  8. Use tongs to remove the chicken from the Instant Pot - note, the chicken will be so tender that the meat will likely pull away from the bone. This is normal (and ideal)! For this reason, it is easiest to lift the wire rack/ trivet below the chicken out rather than trying to remove the chicken itself.

Notes

  • *If your chicken is larger than 4-5 lbs, go with 6 minutes per pound during the pressure cook phase. For instance, for a 6-lb chicken, pressure cook on high for 36 minutes and naturally release for 20.
