step by step
Method
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
Pressure cook
- Put the lid on and lock it in place.
- Pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.
- Step 3
Natural release
- Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
- Check the chicken is cooked through, at least 165 °C in the thickest part.
- Step 4
Crisp or shred
- Optionally place the chicken under the broiler to crisp the skin.
- Or cut it up and portion it for meal prep.
- Step 5
Save the broth
- Keep the liquid left in the pot: it is homemade chicken broth.
