Instant Pot Whole Chicken | Low-Carb | Keto-Friendly

It might seem unreal to get such a luscious “roast” chicken from your Instant Pot, but try this recipe and you’ll want to make one every week. The meat stays extra moist in the steaming pot as the flavors of your seasonings are pushed into every part of the chicken.

If you have a smaller bird (in the 3-4 lb range), you can brown the skin in the pot in the beginning before pressure cooking. This one was almost 6 lbs and would have been difficult to maneuver for a flip in my 6qt pot – I know this from experience – so I chose to brown it in under the oven broiler at the end.

Cooking times for whole chickens depend on the weight: 6 minutes per lb.

NOTE: I only used ½ cup broth to get the pot going because I know the chicken will release a lot of liquid as the pot heats up. By then, there will be more than enough liquid to bring the pot up to pressure. Notice when you reopen the pot later there's at least 2 cups liquid collected at the bottom? Some people still get nervous because the 6qt pot needs a minimum 1 cup to come to pressure so if you are at all worried about it, go ahead and start with 1 cup broth.
***Use 1½-2 cups if you have an 8qt pot.***

Bonus Tip: Save everything to use for other recipes. Strain the broth and use it for gravy, rice, soups or in anything else you’d want to use a richly flavored broth like rice. Freeze the carcass and veggies to make a soup or another batch of broth.
