Will it end up dry? Will I cut into it and find it's slightly undercooked around the thighs? You know the feeling. But with this recipe, you can say goodbye to poultry-induced anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yup, that's right, cooking a whole chicken in an Instant Pot is easy as&#8230; well, just about anything else you put in an Instant Pot! Just set it and forget it, and come back to perfectly cooked, juicy chicken ready to be carved and served to your adoring fans (ahem) I mean, family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"side view of whole chicken made in the Instant Pot on a white speckled ceramic plate\" class=\"wp-image-30492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Instant Pot Whole Chicken?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instant Pot Whole Chicken is a great way for beginners to cook a whole chicken. The result is a  super flavorful, juicy chicken that is cooked all the way through. It is flavored with garlic, lemon, and Lawry's chicken seasoning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the chicken need to be covered in liquid in the Instant Pot? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The chicken only needs a little bit of liquid in the Instant Pot and does not need to be submerged in liquid. In this case, we will use about a cup of chicken broth. The Instant Pot creates pressurized steam, which is very hot and can quickly cook whatever is inside. It needs liquid to turn into steam to function properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use this recipe for chicken parts instead of whole chicken?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! The recipe can be adapted for chicken parts like drumsticks, thighs, or breasts. The cooking time may be slightly different if you only cook chicken parts instead of whole chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overhead view of brown skin of instant pot made chicken recipe on a white ceramic plate with gold trim\" class=\"wp-image-30491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-7.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/slow-cooker-pineapple-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/dutch-oven-orange-roasted-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dutch Oven Orange Roasted Chicken <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/air-fryer-kung-pao-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air Fryer Kung Pao Chicken<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips & Recipe Notes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The general rule for cooking chicken in the Instant Pot is 4 minutes per pound. Your mileage may vary, but the recommended safe internal temperature for chicken is 165\u00b0 F. If you aren't sure if your chicken is cooked through, you can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, but the Instant Pot is a very reliable method for fully cooked chicken that stays super moist. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When it's time to crisp the chicken in the oven, you can pat it dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture and help it get crispier. You can also brush it with some extra olive oil or melted butter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure to let the chicken rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes before carving it to ensure it stays nice and juicy. It also helps to let the chicken cool a bit before cutting so you don't burn yourself!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredient Substitutions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lemons and garlic are amazing with chicken, but you can try out limes or oranges if you don't have lemons. Those options will create a different but still amazing flavor.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lawry's chicken seasoning is delicious, but there are a lot of other delicious seasonings that would work instead. Try a classic poultry blend of sage, thyme, and rosemary or any other spice or herb blend you have on hand. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you prefer, you can use vegetable oil or butter in place of canola oil. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"a whole cooked chicken with browned skin and green scallions on a marble background\" class=\"wp-image-30490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I need to tie the chicken legs together?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tying the drumsticks helps the chicken cook evenly. If you don't have kitchen twine on hand, you can tuck the drumsticks under the chicken or use a strip of aluminum foil to secure them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How should I store Instant Pot Whole Chicken? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the chicken has cooled, it should be stored in the refrigerator. My preferred method is to use my hands and a fork to remove all the meat from the bones and store it in an airtight bag or container. This makes it easy to use for things like chicken salad, quesadillas, or buffalo chicken dip. You can also store the whole chicken if you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I freeze Instant Pot Whole Chicken? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Freezing leftover chicken is a great way to ensure you always have an easy protein on hand to make a quick meal with. Remove the chicken meat from the bones and place it into a zip-top freezer bag or airtight container. The chicken will keep in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw the chicken in the refrigerator or on the countertop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"side shot of a whole chicken cooked on a white speckled serving platter\" class=\"wp-image-30488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Reheat Cooked Chicken <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To reheat a whole chicken that you have stored in the refrigerator, place it in a baking dish and heat in a 350\u00b0 F oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you removed the chicken from the bones, you can heat it through in a non-stick skillet.

I recommend using a general guideline of 6 minutes per pound on high pressure with a resting time in the pressure cooker of about 15-20 minutes.<br\/><br\/>Here's a helpful guide:<br\/>4 pound chicken = 24 minutes on high pressure<br\/>5 pound chicken = 30 minutes on high pressure<br\/>6 pound chicken = 36 minutes on high pressure<br\/>7 pound chicken = 42 minutes on high pressure<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1687021363447\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use an air fryer to brown the skin?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yup! Just preheat the air fryer to 400 and place the chicken inside on a foil-lined tray for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1687021559641\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I cook a frozen chicken in the Instant Pot?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can cook a frozen chicken in an Instant Pot. However, it has been my experience that thawed chicken really does work best. If you decide to cook your chicken from frozen, instead of the 6 minutes-per-pound rule, cook your chicken for 10-12 minutes per pound with a 20 minute natural release.<\/p> <\/div>

If you decide to cook your chicken from frozen, instead of the 6 minutes-per-pound rule, cook your chicken for 10-12 minutes per pound with a 20 minute natural release.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1117,"label":"Chicken"},{"value":1128,"label":"Dinner"},{"value":1135,"label":"Gluten Free"},{"value":1134,"label":"Healthy"},{"value":1005,"label":"Instant Pot"},{"value":386,"label":"Main Course"},{"value":382,"label":"Recipes"},{"value":1072,"label":"Thanksgiving"},{"value":1012,"label":"Weight Watchers"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/instant-pot-whole-chicken-featured-image-1024x1024.png",1024,1024,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"David Murphy","author_link":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/about\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":1117,"name":"Chicken","slug":"chicken","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1119,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":81,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1117,"category_count":81,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Chicken","category_nicename":"chicken","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1128,"name":"Dinner","slug":"dinner","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1130,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":119,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1128,"category_count":119,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Dinner","category_nicename":"dinner","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1135,"name":"Gluten Free","slug":"gluten-free","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1137,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":145,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1135,"category_count":145,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Gluten Free","category_nicename":"gluten-free","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1134,"name":"Healthy","slug":"healthy","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1136,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":120,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1134,"category_count":120,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Healthy","category_nicename":"healthy","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1005,"name":"Instant Pot","slug":"instant-pot","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1007,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":382,"count":161,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1005,"category_count":161,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Instant Pot","category_nicename":"instant-pot","category_parent":382},{"term_id":386,"name":"Main Course","slug":"main-course","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":388,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Main Course - Recipes","parent":382,"count":133,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":386,"category_count":133,"category_description":"Main Course - Recipes","cat_name":"Main Course","category_nicename":"main-course","category_parent":382},{"term_id":382,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":384,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Recipes","parent":0,"count":663,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":382,"category_count":663,"category_description":"Recipes","cat_name":"Recipes","category_nicename":"recipes","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1072,"name":"Thanksgiving","slug":"thanksgiving","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1074,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":64,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1072,"category_count":64,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Thanksgiving","category_nicename":"thanksgiving","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1012,"name":"Weight Watchers","slug":"weight-watchers","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1014,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":95,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1012,"category_count":95,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Weight Watchers","category_nicename":"weight-watchers","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
