Load the Instant Pot

• Pour the water into the Instant Pot.
• Place the whole chicken in the pot breast side down to keep it juicy.

Pressure cook

• Put the lid on and lock it in place.
• Pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.

Natural release

• Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
• Check the chicken is cooked through, at least 165 °C in the thickest part.

Crisp or shred

• Optionally place the chicken under the broiler to crisp the skin.
• Or cut it up and portion it for meal prep.

Save the broth

• Keep the liquid left in the pot: it is homemade chicken broth.
