Step 1

In 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot, add water and place trivet. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and dried oregano until combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Rinse frozen chicken with cold water and dry with paper towel. It is necessary to remove the frost. Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle with a bit of oil and rub with your hands spreading all over the chicken. This will help spices to stick to meat.

Step 5

Sprinkle prepared spice mix evenly around chicken, while holding onto the wing and turning.

Step 6

Transfer seasoned chicken to previously prepared Instant Pot chicken breasts up.

Step 7

4 lbs whole chicken – 60 minutes.

Step 8

5 lbs whole chicken – 70 minutes.

Step 9

4 lbs whole chicken – 40 minutes.

Step 10

5 lbs whole chicken – 50 minutes.

Step 11

6 lbs whole chicken – 60 minutes.

Step 13

After, you have to let Instant Pot release pressure on its own until the pin drops down - called Natural Release. It should take about 15-30 minutes depending on the size of your pressure cooker. 8 quart takes longer.

Step 14

Open the lid and carefully remove chicken onto platter, or using tongs or knife, remove pieces right in the pot and serve. Chicken will be super tender.

Step 15

Serve however you like: with pasta and salad, with quinoa salad etc. Save bones for Instant Pot bone broth. And that flavourful broth at the bottom of the pot makes amazing soup the next day.
