Ingredients
Scale
- 3.5 – 4-Pound Chicken
- ¼ Cup Softened Butter
- 3 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Cracked Pepper
- ½ Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Teaspoon Rosemary
- 1/2 Teaspoon Minced Thyme
- 4 Garlic Cloves – Minced
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- ½ Cup Chicken Bone Broth
- Lemon – Sliced
Instructions
- Rinse off the chicken & remove the giblets
- We’re going to be a little extra today with the garlic butter – because we can:) The process takes less than 5 minutes & it adds so much to the flavor – but if you don’t have the time or energy – do not worry about it.
- All you need to do is mix your softened butter with the garlic cloves. That’s it.
- Rub that chicken down with the garlic butter – get under the skin – under the wings – you get where I’m going with this – then add the rest of the seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, thyme, you can also put some seasonings & lemon inside the chicken if you’re feeling lemony – Make sure you get both sides of the chicken
- Set Instant Pot to Saute – Adjust To “More” to go with the highest temperature
- Add in Olive Oil & brown chicken on both sides.
- Turn The Instant Pot Off
- Now add chicken broth or water – & the trivet – if you can find it (you can use it without)
- Put the chicken in & lock the lid.
- Set To Manual aka Pressure Mode Or Poultry Mode – on High
- 6 Minutes Per Pound – I did 21 minutes
- When Time Is Up: You’ll go with Natural Release – Wait at least 10 minutes
- Remove the lid – use a meat or instant-read thermometer to check the chicken (Needs To Be At Least 165 degrees)
- All Done…
- Unless You Want A Crispy Finish
- If you’re feeling crispy – just put the chicken on a foil-lined pan in the oven – drizzle it with leftover juices from the instant pot & broil for 5 minutes on each side.
- Perfection!
