Someone gave me some whole chickens, smaller than our home grown birds. I'd been hearing that I can make a roast chicken in my electric pressure cooker, so I thought I'd give it a try!
Folks, if you have an Instant Pot or equivalent, you have to try this!
First, I used my favorite seasoning rub on the bird: 1 Tbsp. salt, 2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. black pepper, and 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. I left out the cayenne pepper, and probably could have used twice the garlic powder. The result was still tasty.
Put a small amount of olive oil in the pressure cooker, and heat it a bit before browning the neck end of the chicken in it. Then, turn the chicken on its back or as best you can fit it in the pressure cooker, add 1 c. chicken broth, cover and seal. Set timer to cook for 25 minutes, then allow for a natural release. Remove and serve!
