Step 1

Prepare the bbq rub and massage it both under and over the skin.

Step 2

Drizzle some oil in your Instant Pot.

Step 3

Turn it on to the saute function and allow it to heat up.

Step 4

Place the whole chicken, breast side down, in the Instant Pot. If it is too big to lay down flat you'll have to brown the skin on the stove top in a large skillet.

Step 5

Cook for a few minutes until golden and turn over, browning the other side.

Step 6

You can leave the chicken in the pot, or we like to use the Trivet so it isn't sitting in the liquid.

Step 7

Pour in the liquids and close the lid.

Step 8

Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure and cook for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Allow the Instant Pot to do a slow release for 5-10 minutes and then remove the lid and enjoy!
