This was a great quick way to cook a whole chicken. The rub was great also. I have the larger Instant Pot and cooked an 8.5 lb roaster. Thanks for the recipe!

When I make this, the chicken is fall off the bone tender, but I am able to remove it from the IP without it falling apart. As long as it tastes amazing, that’s all that matters, right? 😉

Made this tonight with all the herbs, lemon and onion.  I was too lazy to do the optional final step under the broiler haha.   It was absolutely perfect!  Thank you 🙂

Great recipe. Love the tips. Turned out so so tender and flavourful. 

This was amazing. I didn’t brown the chicken because of time. I did put some half inch carrot sticks to the bottom. Put the trivet over that increased the liquid to 2 cups (chicken broth). I made a gravy from the drippings and liquid afterwards and it was amazing. The spice set was very delicious. Thank you for posting this recipe, Kristine. I’ll definitely make this again. The gravy was fabulous over some mashed potatoes. Loved it!

I have cooked 2 or 3 whole chickens in the instant pot, and this recipe is by far the best I’ve tried.  It was very easy to follow, and my 4 lb.  chicken turned out perfectly – fully cooked, juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender. I am definitely saving this recipe to make again!

My new go-to whole chicken recipe!! Thank you for this fantastic recipe. I didn’t realize how easy it was to make a fall-off-the-bone chicken in the instant pot!! It reminded me of a Costco rotisserie chicken, but organic and clean!

Made this tonight with a baking hen which are usually tough. It was so tender! I made gravy as well and will be making bone broth. Thank you!

It’s in step 8 of the recipe. You put the remaining seasoning rub on the chicken before you return it to the Instant Pot for pressure cooking, after browning.

This is the most tender chicken. Literally seemed to melt in my mouth. Even the white meat was juicy and delicious. Easy to prepare. Left overs. Thank you!

Really great recipe. I cooked this yesterday and the meat was so tender and cooked all the way through. I used fresh rosemary and fresh sage with half an onion and the taste of the chicken was great. The bones in the leg literally fell off when touched. So glad I tried this.

Wow. Thanx Kristine. Had a three pound chicken sitting in the fridge and couldn’t think of a new way to prepare it. Found your site and we had the juiciest, delicious chicken dinner tonite. Love the extra flavour added by the lemon. Great IP recipe. Definitely a keeper.
