Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 4.5 to 5 pounds whole chicken
  • 1 medium sized onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs like thyme and/or oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction

  • Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pressure cooker pot. Place a trivet inside with the handles resting on the sides of the pot.
  • Clean the chicken and remove any giblets. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Brush or rub olive oil over the chicken breast, legs, and wings. In a mixing bowl, combine dry seasonings and mix well. Rub the seasoning mix over the oiled chicken.
  • Place the chicken on top of the trivet in the pot, breast side up. Evenly distribute chopped onions on top of the chicken.
  • Secure the lid and seal the vent. Cook for 25 minutes at high pressure, followed by a 15 minute natural pressure release.
  • Uncover and use the trivet’s handles to carefully lift the chicken out of the pot. Carve up the chicken and place the meat on a serving platter. Spoon liquid from the pot over the sliced chicken and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
