Recipes Instant Pot Whole Chicken 3.8 (5) 4 Reviews 2 Photos This chicken is perfectly tender and juicy. The flavor is subtle so it's a perfect canvas for many dishes or sauces. The vegetables are layered in the bottom of the cooker, creating a "rack" for the chicken, which helps add moisture and flavor.

Pat chicken dry and place on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting or shredding. Strain solids from the cooking liquid, if desired. Set to Saute, and reduce by half for a flavorful sauce. Allrecipes Cook's Note: You don't even have to add any water to the cooker since the chicken and vegetables will create plenty of liquid on their own. If you're concerned about it not having enough liquid, add 1/4 cup water.
