I find it difficult to even begin to tell you how excellent the chicken was that I made recently- roasted in the Instant Pot, no less. Seriously. I doubt I will ever make chicken any other way, not after this.
It was so incredibly easy, as well. I mixed together the spices it called for, dried each piece of chicken, then coated each with said spices. (Of course, you will have to look it up yourselves, just as the headline says, if you are interested in some amazingly delicious chicken. Why? You already know that I have trouble opening, uploading, viewing stuff on the internet. This is no exception. Sorry.)
Really, though, it only took about thirty minutes to brown all of the pieces in the Instant Pot, (I used two whole chickens, cut in pieces), so, once that was done, I carefully added a cup of chicken broth to the bottom of the Pot, as it said to do, placed the trivet on the bottom, then carefully added all of the seasoned, and, browned, chicken pieces.
Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed to allow for pressure cooking. Program the Pressure setting to twenty eight minutes, push Start, and be on your way.
That is one of the major reasons I enjoy using the Instant Pot. You can program it, and leave it for hours. A stove top pressure cooker, you have to “tend to” in order to keep it safe. With either, if you cut corners, and do not read the directions, or do not clean it properly, there is always a danger, when cooking under pressure, that your pot will explode. If you are smart enough to use it the way it is intended, you can have some of the most juicy, tender, chicken in about an hour, start to finish. (Potatoes in less than ten minutes!!)
If you do not have an Instant Pot, get one, (or two). It is worth every dime. So, this Christmas, (or, even after Christmas, if you did not ask someone, in your house, to buy you an Instant Pot), get on the internet, buy an Instant Pot, and start looking on Pinterest for Instant Pot recipes. You will not know what hit you.
Two hours later, having not moved an inch, you will have found everything you need to get started. For you that work, or are busy all day, this is for you. You can make whole meals in the thing, once you find the recipes you like.
Enjoy. I am hungry, again, for this chicken. Will have to make it again, soon. (I will use Paty as my excuse, because she was out of town when I made it the first time.) Whatever works, I say.
