Instant Pot Mini Whole Chicken Recipe:
1 Uncooked Chicken - 4ish lb max (cook time will depend on how much your chicken weighs - 6 minutes per pound)
2 T. cooking oil
1 t. thyme
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1/2 t. smoked paprika
1/2 t. black pepper
2 t. salt
1/2 cup water or broth
Add 1/2 cup of water or broth and trivet (if it fits... if not, leave it out) to the pot. Sprinkle top, bottom and inside of the chicken with all of the spices and place onto the trivet (if using). Lock the lid and set the pressure valve to the "sealing" position. Press the "Pressure cook" button and adjust to "high pressure". Set the cook time for 6 minutes per pound that your chicken weighs (a 4lb chicken would be 24 minutes, etc.) After cook time finishes allow the pot to NPR for at least 10 minutes. Open the pot and enjoy as-is or transfer to a foil lined pan and broil in the oven for 4-5 minutes per side for a crispy skin. Enjoy!

Have watched this many-a-time and am compelled to finally throw in a "thank-you" comment.
Truck driver here, cooking a stew right now, first use of my mini in the truck. I was smelling stew, but your video has me smelling chicken. Yum!
Thank you for the mini recipe, we need more mini recipes they are hard to find.
Ccr Reilly yes! Agreed
I finally bought an Instant Pot and I chose the 3 qt model ($56 / Target) mainly because I am single. I have cooked a whole chicken; two Cornish hens; small pot roast; soup; mushroom gravy; rice; steamed root veggies; and steel-cut oats in the mini...oh, and quinoa. I am so pleased. I have used only it and the microwave since the purchase.
I was thinking about returning mine but I might keep it after reading this and watching the video
Oh how I miss the old style videos, takes me back, watching these old instant pot videos.
That chicken was large and was cooked perfectly in the 3 Qt. pot and that is the one I have since I cook for one person as I live by myself. The dish you made is perfect and would be great with mashed potatoes and cornbread. The broth can be poured over the potatoes to make for a great dish.
Great job! would love to see more recipes using the 3 qt instant pot. I'm using it on a trip and only have a frig, no freezer so need ideas of what I can cook without having more than a day of left overs for 2 people.
Thanks for making this video. I was trying to decide between the 3 qt and the 6 qt, and the ability to fit a whole chicken is the deciding factor.
I tied my chicken with twine. This makes a rope handle for easily pulling my chicken out of pot. Thread twine through the chicken and wrap up around drumsticks and wings. Helpful hint.
Just made this tonight. First time ever. Free range, antibiotic free etc etc. 4 pounder. It was small enough to use the trivet. Ohhhhh my goodness. Well it’s not a presentation bird but I’ll cut it up and put in my veggie bean soup. Thank you soo much for these “Mini” iPot recipes. 👍👍👍
Cap Doerr k
Thank you for posting this. I was having trouble finding a good video which showed how the mini looked in proportion to other things. Most clips just show the cooker. Choosing a whole chicken really allowed me to see how big the three quart size is. I know that I will get the six-quart cooker first, and maybe the three-quart later. Very helpful!!
So glad I could help! ☺️
Wow! I seriously doubted this would work. Now I really want a mini!
I guess a lot of people who searched this video was considering of buying 3qt but wondering if they can cook a whole chicken. I'm one of them and this video convinced me that 3qt has so much potential. I'm sold.
I regularly do a 3 to 4 lb pork roast in my 3qt mini IP, turns out great every time. I've been considering a whole chicken, just havent gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the video.
What is your cooking time?
@@misha9179 for a beef roast, I do 20 minutes per pound of roast.
Im glad to see that worked! The 6 qt instant pot I got as a gift was too big for my countertop so Im getting a 3 quart one and giving the 6 quart one to my sister who has 2 kids.
Thank you for this video. Tomorrow I was going to return my 6 quart instant pop because I just bought it today, opened it and thought it wouldn't fit a whole chicken. Then I saw your video with the whole chicken and the 3 qt pot and I feel so relieved now. Besides, you give advices like time and water capacity. Thanks, thanks a lot!
I sometimes brown stuff with the propane torch that I use for plumbing. To brown under the broiler more evenly you can take some kitchen sheers and cut along one side of the backbone and flatten it out. That may be easier when it's cold.
Thanks for this... I only have the mini duo and have been cutting my chickens up.
Oh... and nice carving skills at the end!
This was a great tip for broiling! Thanks! I’ll have to try it. Mine is coming to pressure now ☺️
Winner, winner, chicken 🐔 dinner! Thank you for this recipe for 3 qt. The chicken turns out moist, tender and full of flavor. Allow an hour for cooking before enjoying!
Hi, I've jut bought a mini for my van, and looking for informantion on how to use it. Really happy to have found your really clear and useful videos. Many, many thanks, I'm having a deeper look on your channel. Have a nice day. Greetings from Spain 🙋♀😀
Like seeing the mini in action. Thanks for sharing.
I have an InstantPot DUO60. It is the most amazing kitchen appliance that I have ever purchased. I can’t believe you got that whole four pound chicken in a three quart model ! 🤣
USNVA11 I will probably cut it up. :-)
Great demo, thanks and using the mini was just what I needed. You give good, clear instructions!
Nilli, thanks so much for an Instant Pot mini recipe! Not too many of those around & your seasonings sound delicious. I've also had success in my mini spatchcocking the chicken & squishing it in there and/or then cutting it in half. If you use a shallow trivet on the bottom, you can sometimes get a 2nd trivet in there to stack both halves below top of pot. That then gets a nice browning all over because chicken lays flat on pan in oven. Now I want Instant Pot chicken with your recipe. 😂💟
I never would have attempted to cook a bird that large in that tiny IP!!! 🤣🤣🤣. Great job!!! Cannot believe it fit!!!
Alice Adler thats what she said.
I wonder if I can fit and reheat a rotisserie chicken that you already get at the supermarket cook is frankly they're the best I've ever had
Great experiment! Good to know it fits. And good to know about 6 min/lb cooking a whole chicken.
Hugs to the kiddies. 💝💝💝
Trying this tonight. Excited to see how this turns out. Doing it without the trivia since We’ve misplaced it.
I've been debating on whether I should get and Instant Pot and which size. After watching this I'm going to get one for sure and it'll be the 3qt. Since I only have to cook for myself, that should be just the right size. Looks like it'll cook what I like with leftovers for a day or two. Thank you!
Great choice! You'll love it!
I’m so glad to know a chicken will fit in the small instant pot.
I have been wishing I had a larger one so I could cook a whole chicken. Now I am going to try this.
Thanks
HA!!!!! This is what is on my meal plan for dinner tomorrow 😎. Thanks for sharing the video! Now I don’t have to go back looking for the spice rub ingredients and the time check, LOL! You’re the bomb! Have a great week 🙂
I love your instant pot videos!! Thank you for doing another one!!!
i'm a total newbie, just bought instant pot, duo novq 3qt... loved the chicken thing, you explained it so well, i just subscribed
My Goodness, the bowl looked bigger than the Inner pot! You could put some cut up onions on the bottom of the pot to lift it up a bit too. And it adds flavor.
Crazy that the mini is able to handle a 4+ lb chicken.
Thank you. You help so much with all your explanations . I have a 8 qt instant pot because I cook very often broths for my husband but for everyday and 2 people it's very big. I think to order the Mini duo when i's Prime Day .Hope I won't miss this day ! Hope you will have time to do more videos with the mini. Thank you Nill.
Wow i didn't think a full sized chicken could fit in the 3qt. Good to know.😊
WOW. I accidentally ordered one and I should of sent it back. I didn’t! That you for your video. I will be using it now
Marvelous, Nili!! I can't believe you got that whole chicken in the 3qt pot! My friend, Fran, has a 3 qt IP so I'm going to introduce her to your site!!! :)
I recently purchased the 3 quart mini IP to go along with my 6 quart. I've been wondering what I can cook in it...so THANK YOU for doing this video!!
Thanks for the video, Nili! I have the mini, but hadn't tried a whole chicken yet. Great info!
Have ip mini in my truck will give this a try thanks for sharing
Love coming home from work and throwing a frozen chicken in my IP and with in 1 hour I have dinner all ready!
Yes! So convenient!
I wish I could give this 1,000 likes. Awesome video thanks!
I really appreciate you doing this. I've been trying to decide if I'd want the mini and wanted to know if I could cook a small bird in it.
Thanks for the mini recipe...they are hard to find and I'm gonna go out and try this today!!!
Thanks for the IP 3 qt whole chicken recipe. I sent my daughter the link to this video because I plan to send her a 3 qt IP in the near future. :)
Thanks for the video on the 3Q. I bought a 6Q - Just feeding 1 person, the 6Q is huge for me. I will buy the 3Q - thanks for the recipe as well.
Was delicious, next one I am going to loosen the skin and put spices underneath that way when I peel skin off the flavor is there, I am at 7,000 ft alt. So I did 45, 15 NR
Awesome was wondering if a whole bird would fit . Thanks !
I am Single old man that travels in a RV and was wondering if I could get by with the 3 quart pot? After watching your video I think it would be perfect. My old crockpot just died, so moving on up to the Insta pot.
The 3qt is perfect for single people and I've heard it's great for RVing! 😊
I think the 3 qt would be great for you! I have a 6 qt in the house, but purchased a 3 qt for our RV!
That's awesome! I'm really considering getting one on Prime Day. I had no idea it would hold that much!
Thank u for this video it’s perfect for two people. Hope to see more recipes for this size from you
You're welcome! In case you haven't seen it, I wrote a whole cookbook dedicated to the mini. You can find it on Amazon here: amzn.to/2zNjHXk 😊
That is a huge chicken!
Thank you for this demo! It was really helpful!
That’s really good to know since I’m hoping to get a good deal on a mini on the 16th. Thanks, Nili!
I made a 4.7 pound chicken in a 3 qt instapot using your method. Check it out!
Excellent video. Clear and concise. I'm going to try this one tonight!
life saver! I have to cook a chicken today and was so lost as to how =) thank you!
Looks delicious, will give it a try
thank you! trying this out in my mini. super useful video!
i just got mine new and i didn't realize the timer was in minutes. i thought it was minutes and seconds, like a microwave. i overcooked some potatoes in there .. :(
If I’m just cooking for my husband and myself. Don’t you think the mini is all we need?
Brilliant nili yet again. In my baby ip,,,,,I use a couple of rolled balls of cooking foil just to raise of bottom, works every time,I then brown in the air fryer.
What are you like nili......a spice rub sends very different pictures in my brain ...lol!!😂🙊💞👍
I’m getting my first IO.. Thus was perfect. Thanks.
I've been using a slow cooker a crock pot forever but this is a lot faster and in a Crock-Pot it would take like 5 to 6 or so hours on low or 4 hours to 5 hours on high but this only took
25 min that's great
Great video - thanks for the mini IP - very useful info
I wonder if you can put cut up potatoes or carrots in the cavity and use that space for a side dish.
That's possible but you might need to increase cooking time since the heat won't be able to circulate the same way 🙂
Beautiful chicken! Nice experiment!
Great vid. I love my mini. Now even more. Great job. 👍
Surprised me to get that bad boy in the mini. I will try the rub. Its simple , but looks pretty tasty.
Can you please make a video of making rice pudding on the mini?
Thanks for making this vid..I can't wait for my mini to arrive 😀
Loved this, does the same time go for chicken parts? More mini recipes please.
Enjoyed the video. So the broth and juices from the cooking chicken keep it from burning on the bottom without the trivet ?
Yes 🙂
Yummy .. Thanks .🙂👍🥂
Going to try that this morning and make bone broth out of it
i noticed you did not put water in it how about putting some kind of gravy over it while you cook it?
Thank you so much❤️..I wanted yo see what size would be the smallest possible Crock Pot that could fit a whole chicken snugly? Cos I'm alone, and do not want to lug around a regular size Crock Pot all the time thats nit necessary? They reduce in size anyways as they cook...
Thank you , this was great ..a 4 lb. chicken in a 3qt,😊
Looks great but did you flip the bird to broil on other side for 5 minutes also?
I didn't this time but you totally could 🙂
Were you able to get a fair amount of juice out of the chicken? I like to oven roast my chicken and then use the broth for chicken noodles and I was hoping it would still be juicy enough to be able to use in the Instant Pot
Oh yes. Lots of wonderful juices in the pot after cooking. ☺️
The chickens we buy are 2lbs, I often cook 2 frozen but I have an 8 qt
Btw in egyptian cooking we always cook the chicken in soup, and use the stock for cooking the rest of dinner, so I never use the trivet, I also never saute mine, but I do crisp it in the oven after
i am 10 seconds in, and you are a beast. awesome. I am into it 100% lets do this okok about to watch thanks!!
yes!! worked!I learned a lot.
Thanku for taking the time to show us this experiment I deeply appreciate it. Thanku and where did u get your instant pot times sheet?
Amazon sells one, I took a screenshot with my phone.
Good review!
Could you fit the trivet upside down?
Thanks for the great videos on IP's. Do you think the 3qt would we useful/meaningful for a family of 3? Or would it be too limiting? I have a 6 lt stove top pressure cooker so there's that. And there's a great deal on the 3 qt now, almost 1/3 price of the 6 qt. So I'm really torn 😵💫
THANKS!
Looks like 7 people can’t read symbols. No it’s the one on the left. The thumbs up. That’s right. That’s ok we all make mistakes sometimes. 😜
😂😂😍
OMG thanks so much
Thanks a bunch:)
I have an 8 qt IP. It cooks everything beautifully. What are the advantages of this smaller size? I cook for my husband and myself.
You can cook vegetables or rice in the small one while cooking the main dish in the 8 qt.
I like having the 3 qt sitting on my counter at all times (I have a small kitchen!). I can cook most things in it but when I need to make a big batch of something I can still pull out my 8qt. And like Elizabeth said, it's great when I need to cook 2 things at once!
So then I throw my chix carcass w broth and some taters n carrots in the pot and make a delish thick soup. You can add the dumplings on top too.
Dead link to Amazon for 3 qt mini
Which one do you like better the big or little instant pot?
It depends on what you're cooking. I have both, so that I can have a main dish and a side dish or rice cooking at the same time. Or make yogurt in one and still be able to cook dinner in the other. I couldn't say which one I like better.
Both! I am finding that I use the 3qt most often for daily use and then pulling out my 8qt for when I do big batches of food prep.
can you use a frozen chicken?
nevermind. I just finished watching the rest of video.
Your recipe calls for Smoked Paprika..... The only thing out there was Smoked Spanish Paprika..... Same thing?
Yes, that will work just fine ☺️
I’m curious as to why you wanted to do this?
It's an easy, delicious and convenient meal. Why wouldn't I want to do it?! 😄
3 quarts is not that "tiny."
I wish people doing RUclipss wouldn't play music it's so distracting. If I want to listen to music, I'll find a RUclips with the music I like. It's so distracting when someone is speaking.
