Notes
- This recipe was made using the Instant Pot Duo, a multi-use programmable cooker that can pressure cook, saute, slow cook, steam, warm and also make yogurt and rice.
- You can also make this recipe using a Ninja Foodi, a programmable multi-use pressure cooker that can also steam, saute, slow cook, dehydrate, bake, broil, roast and air crisp.
- We used a free-range chicken, however, any type of whole chicken will work well for this recipe
- Be sure to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165° F before serving
- When checking the chicken for doneness we like to use the ThermoPro TP03 Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer as we find that it's easy to use and the readings are fast and accurate.
