Instant Pot Whole Roasted Chicken
Ingredients List
-
2 stalks celery, cut into large chunks
-
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
-
1 medium onions, peeled and cut into wedges
-
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
-
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
-
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Place chopped celery, carrots, and onion at the bottom of your Instant Pot or other multi-use pressure cooker. Pat the chicken dry, then set it on top of the vegetables. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Secure the lid and set to high pressure as per the manufacturer's instructions. Adjust the timer to 25 minutes and allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build up.
Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following the manufacturer's instructions, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the pressure is released, unlock and remove the lid. Take out the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding.
If desired, strain the solids from the cooking liquid. Set the Instant Pot to Saute and reduce the liquid by half to create a rich, flavorful sauce.
Chef's Tip:
No need to add extra water to the pot—the chicken and vegetables will release enough liquid on their own. If you're worried about it being too dry, simply add 1/4 cup of water.
