Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • ½ cup White Wine
  • ½ cup Broth
  • 2 Carrots chopped
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 10 cloves Garlic
  • 3-4 Potatoes
  • 1 Bay Leaf

Instructions
 

  • Rub the outside of the chicken with olive oil, and then season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the chopped vegetables and water in the bottom of the instant pot and place the chicken over top.
  • For this recipe we used a medium size chicken which is about 2- 2.5 Lbs in weight or a 1kg chicken.
  • Pour the wine and broth over the chicken. Some may not want to use wine. In this case, simply switch the wine for more chicken broth.
  • Secure the lid. Select the manual setting, set to high, and increase time to 25 minutes.
  • Natural release the chicken for 10 minutes to let the chicken rest and then quick release until the pressure and steam has completely gone.
  • You can serve the chicken as it is or if you want to brown the skin some more pop it under the grill or broiler. Set the oven to broil and place the chicken under the broiler for 2-5 minutes. This will produce a crispier skin.

Notes

Seasoning Savvy: Rub the whole chicken with your favorite seasonings, ensuring even coverage. Don't forget to season the cavity for an extra flavor boost.
Liquids Matter: Add a cup of flavorful liquid, like chicken broth or white wine, to the Instant Pot before cooking. This enhances the chicken's taste and keeps it moist.
Natural Release Finale: After cooking, allow the Instant Pot to do a natural release for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping your chicken incredibly juicy.
