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!

Tips for Cooking a Whole Chicken in a Pressure Cooker:

  • Choose the right size chicken: A 3- to 4-pound whole chicken is ideal for a 6-quart pressure cooker. You can also cook a larger chicken, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and sage.
  • Brown the chicken before cooking: Browning the chicken adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. To brown the chicken, heat a little oil in the pressure cooker and cook the chicken over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Add liquid to the pressure cooker: You need to add liquid to the pressure cooker in order to create steam. The amount of liquid you need will depend on the size of your chicken and the type of pressure cooker you are using. As a general rule, you should add 1 cup of liquid for every pound of chicken.
  • Cook the chicken on high pressure: Most pressure cookers have a high and low pressure setting. For cooking a whole chicken, you should use the high pressure setting.
  • Let the pressure release naturally: Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the pressure cooker. This helps to prevent the chicken from drying out.

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. Pressure-cooked chicken is a versatile dish that can be used in a variety of recipes, such as soups, stews, casseroles, and salads.
