Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken about 3 pounds, thawed with giblets removed
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Herb Dry Rub
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth or water increase to 2 cups for the 8 quart instant pot

Instructions

  • Chop the onion into large chunks, and place inside the cavity of the chicken.
  • If desired, tie the legs together for a better presentation after cooking.
  • Rub the Lemon Herb Dry Rub evenly over the exterior of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken on the cooking rack and place inside the instant pot.
  • Pour the recommended amount of chicken broth or water inside the instant pot.
  • Place the cover in locked position and move the lid valve to “seal”.
  • Use the manual setting to pressure cook on high for 24 minutes. (This is for a 3 pound chicken)
  • Let natural release for 10-15 minutes and then let out remaining pressure, if any.

Notes

If using a larger chicken, increase cook time by 8 minutes per pound of chicken.
