PRESSURE COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN
I've fallen in love with my pressure cooker and was anxious to try this. It's now my new favorite way to prepare a whole chicken. This recipe is a combination of ideas I found online, and you certainly could use any seasonings you want. The chicken turns out somewhere between roasted & stewed, and is delicous, tasty & moist. I served it with brown rice tossed with some dried basil & moistened with some of the juice from the chicken. You can have a real feast in 45 mins. tops!

Steps:
- Rinse chicken & pat dry. Season with salt & pepper. Heat oil in uncovered pressure cooker; brown chicken on all sides in hot oil. Remove chicken; place rack in pressure cooker and place browned chicken in/on rack. Add water/broth around chicken. Place lid on cooker, seal, and bring up to pressure. Cook for 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Select a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. Avoid chickens that are too large or too small, as they may not cook evenly.
- Pat the chicken dry: Before cooking, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
- Season the chicken generously: Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a compound butter or marinade to the chicken for extra flavor.
- Use a trivet: Place the chicken on a trivet in the pressure cooker. This will prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will allow the juices to circulate.
- Add liquid: Add 1 cup of liquid to the pressure cooker. This can be water, broth, or even wine. The liquid will help to create steam and cook the chicken evenly.
- Cook the chicken on high pressure: Cook the chicken on high pressure for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pressure release naturally: Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the pressure cooker.
- Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker: Carefully remove the chicken from the pressure cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Conclusion:
Cooking a whole chicken in a pressure cooker is a quick and easy way to get a delicious and juicy meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your chicken turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this pressure cooker whole chicken recipe a try.
