How To Make chicken in a "instant" pot

  • Step 1
    Mix all 10 spices together and set aside
  • Step 2
    Chop onion into quarters and stuff it inside the cavity of the chicken. Place the pats of butter under the skin of the breast parts. Tie up the legs. And rub the spice mixture all over it.
  • Step 3
    Put coconut oil enough to cover bottom in the instant pot and set it to sauté mode. When hot, place whole chicken breast side down. Let it sit there for 4 minutes (I time it) then turn the chicken over and cook it for another 4 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Remove chicken and place the trivet inside add 1 cup of water and put chicken back in the pot, breast side up.
  • Step 5
    Set instant pot on manual, maximum pressure for 25-28 minutes. Let it release on its own.
