    Instant Pot 6qt 7-in-1 DUO60: amzn.to/2F2T5j1
    Cosori 6qt 8-in-1 Multicooker: amzn.to/2FBTx8N
    Extra Trivets: amzn.to/2F19HaK
    Pressure Cooker Whole Chicken Recipe:
    1 Uncooked Chicken (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
    Cooking instruction using an Instant Pot (I'm using a DUO 6qt V2):
    Press the Saute button and adjust to the "more" setting. Add in your cooking oil. When hot, place the chicken in pot with the breast side down. Brown each side for 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot. Turn off the saute mode and add 1/2 cup of water to the pot. Place trivet in the pot. Sprinkle top, bottom and inside of the chicken with all of the spices and place onto the trivet. Lock the lid and set the pressure valve to the "sealing" position. Press the "Poultry" button. ("Manual" or "Pressure Cook" on high pressure would work fine as well) Set the cook time for 6 minutes per pound that your chicken weighs (a 5lb chicken would be 30 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!
    Cooking Instructions using a Cosori (I'm using a 6qt 8-in-1):
    Press the Browning/Saute button, adjust to the "more" setting and press the ON/Start button. Add in your cooking oil. When hot, place the chicken in the pot with the breast side down. Brown each side for 6-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot. Turn off the saute mode and add 1/2 cup of water. Place trivet in the pot (optional-the trivet that comes with this Cosori model probably won't work for this recipe). Sprinkle top, bottom and inside of the chicken with all of the spices and place onto the trivet. Lock the lid and set the pressure valve to the sealing position. Press the "Poultry" button and set the cook time for 6 minutes per pound that your chicken weighs (a 5lb chicken would be 30 minutes, etc.) After cook time finishes allow the pot to natural pressure release 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!

    This is my new favorite kitchen tool! Day 1 I was going to pressure cook a meat ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and potato stew, decided I wouldn't eat it that night so I went with a slow cook so I could go to bed and put it away in the morning. I love that versatility! The sauté feature works great and adds tons of extra flavor to dishes, and I can easily sizzle meats in the bottom then deglaze for some restaurant worthy flavors.Big bonus - you can cook a whole frozen chicken in about 2 hours. Amazing! I've seen a couple videos, haven't tried it yet, but I will soon!

    Cosori FYI Tip...
    Just in case you haven't discovered it yet, you can do the Saute/Brown as recommended here by pressing the adjust button to get to 302 degrees. I discovered quite by accident that you can get to 320 degrees if you press the Saute/Brown button followed by pressing the Pressure/Temp button (next to Adjust) immediately followed by the + button (next to Pressure/Temp) to increase up to 320 degrees. You have the same option with the warm function. After cooking has finished & it auto goes to warm, press the cancel button. Then press the Warm button followed by Pressure/Temp button immediately followed by the + button. I live alone & back during Winter when the ground was covered in snow, I'd make a pot of Soup/Stew. The default Warm wasn't warm enough; but after discovering that I could increase the temp, I'd up it so my soup stayed warmer/hot for most of the day & I more or less grazed my soup off & on all day. Found it a good way to stay warm & safer than having to go outside. I've found this useful with several of my recipes but not so important in others. Just sharing!!!

      Great point! My husband and I spend a great deal of time in our rv and being able to cook a nice meal in just one pot is quite handy. It's also a great method for cooking when it's 118 degrees outside! Who wants to have added heat in the kitchen? I haven't bought an InstaPot yet (I only recently discovered this here on RUclips) but certainly plan to. In the meantime I'm watching numerous videos on what to cook. 👍I like how this will also replace my Crockpot and give me a pressure cooker, saute pan, bake pan, etc.. I'm so looking forward to buying this! As for negative comments I never understand the need of others to bother. I prefer to live by the old adage "If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all". It's good for the soul.

    I do this whole chicken but instead of a trivet I halve medium potatoes and place them cut side down, or I use roughly chopped carrots celery and sweet onion. When done they can be tossed or actually eaten. I prefer to mash the tatoes with some lemmon pepper and butter, and puree the very well cooked vegies and broth in to a chicken gravy. When cooling the whole chicken I cook them breast down. This actually increases the jiuces in the breast and they never come out dry. (I learned this from my Grams for Thanksgiving Turkeys)

    • @gramgramme8310
      @gramgramme8310 6 лет назад +17

      Stewart Perthou carefully loosen the skin on the breast before you cook it and put your seasonings Under the Skin right on the beat that increases the flavor to the chicken

    • @SpiritBear12
      @SpiritBear12 5 лет назад +36

      My sister one Thanksgiving was feeling a little rushed and she accidentally put the turkey in the roaster breast side down. No one noticed until it was done. She felt embarrassed, but after we flipped it over to carve it we found that the breast meat came out nicer than it does when you cook it right side up! I'm not much for the white meat myself because it's usually dryer than the car meat. I also think it has less flavor. But this time it was pretty darn good!

  • @janefarrer2868
    @janefarrer2868 6 лет назад +27

    I made this into a complete meal by adding baby potatoes, carrots and celery,onion on the bottom of the cooker and to the sides around the chicken. I added 1 1/2 cups water. The chicken and the veggies did release tons of tasty juices-yummy broth. I used Cosori cooker.

    • @blondebailey9575
      @blondebailey9575 4 года назад

      I cook my whole chicken exactly the same way except with broth and no celery. Oh, and in my Crockpot instead. It's a wonderfully tasty dinner! And extremely juicy in the slow cooker! I'm planning to buy the Instapot and look forward to trying it with the pressure cooker method instead when I don't have the time to do it the other way. Yum! P.S. sometimes I also add green beans in the pot. P.S.S. I love the puppy avatar!

    If you don't want to use a trivet (like me) I just throw in some potatoes or carrots and the chook sits on them. Then you have some veges cooked in the broth/juice at the end as well :-)

    Thank you for the side-by-side. This was very helpful.
    Aesthetically, I like the look of the Cosori better. For me, the Cosori provided better display feedback with the temperature reading and the progress circle as it came up to pressure.
    I like dark meat and cook thighs or leg quarters -- usually in the oven. This looks like a much more tender and less messy method, as well as saving energy -- oven method takes 45 minutes.

    The instant pot is great if you have a small kitchen with no ventilation. Doesn't get hot in there, has the heat contained. The only thing different I would add is while the chicken is out of the pot after browning, add your spices then before putting back into the instant pot. Beef stew is done in minutes and tender, even cheesecake is perfect. Sweet potatoes or whole potatoes take minutes. Cook up as many as will fit in pot and have cooked potatoes on the ready for the week.

      Restaurants frequently use parts of vegetables that are thrown away -- onion and garlic skins, kale stalks, carrot tops, celery ends and butt. When prepping veggies, throw the trim into a plastic bag in the freezer -- it'll flavor the stock, too!

    So many haters here! Thanks for the nice videos. People don't seem to get that if you're a busy person, you don't really have time to really bake a chicken properly (internal temperature). This is a nice technique because you literally can set it on the insta pot and run to the store, or go play outside with your kids, you don't need to run back and take the chicken out of the oven.
    I like to submerge mine in liquid, so then I get poached chicken that I can use for many many things (tacos, nachos, etc) and on top of that I get yummy stock.
    thanks again!

    That was a GREAT video, Indigo Nili, because my wife just ordered the Instapot, and I had asked her if I could cook a whole chicken with it. All the other info I read didn't say. Thank you so much. I had been buying roast chicken at the supermarket, but it's quite a bit more expensive than cooking your own, plus you don't know how long it's been sitting under a heat lamp. The market did tell me, however, that they put the cooked chickens under the lamp at about 10 AM. If you buy it at 4 PM, that chicken's been under the lamp for 6 hours.

    TIP: Today I put leftover cornbread (from a couple days ago) that was dried out, into the Instant Pot in a steamer basket with 1 cup of water in the bottom of the vessel, and put on manual setting for zero minutes, and did a Q.R. The cornbread came out hot and moist just as if I had baked it fresh in the oven. I'm going to try this in future with bread, cake, etc.

    I've used instant pot for a while now and I will say it is a great device, however, I am also saying that for best cooking, depending on what is being cooked, the oven can still offer great traditional cooking. there are times when you may want to use both, Instant pot for the majority, oven to crisp the skin, if you enjoy crisp skin,. But over all, I am using the Instant pot for most of what I used the oven for. Admittedly, using the oven can be a better option when cooking larger portions which the IP cannot handle. any method of cooking is a good method as long as you cooking fresh and get away from all that fast food garbage out there.

      Not True. I have been cooking with digital pressure cooker since early 1990's. Instant pot wasn't on the market then. I also have used a stovetop pressure cooker since 1971. I am not saying the IP isn't a great pot just not the first and was copied.

    Bad news is I blew through 3 Cosori 8qt from Amazon in 2 months due to electronic failures. Good news is each time Amazon refunded them and I threw out the units, I kept the stainless liners. They fit my instant pot brand cooker. I'll not own a competing brand again, as my original second hand 6qt IP from 6 years ago is still going strong.

    Interesting video, thanks. A lot of contention in comments about the cooking temperature. I've used an Instant Pot for a couple of years for various things, and the recommended cooking times have always been too long to retain texture and flavour. The minimum safe temperature for chicken cooking is 65C (150F), and I reckon that you'd reach that temperature after about 15 minutes for a chicken of the size shown. You may wish it cooked a bit longer, or browned in the oven - and to retain the shape of the chicken browning it at the end in a very hot oven is a good way to go rather than at the start.
    Today I have cooked some beef cheek for a casserole in this pressure cooker. After 14 minutes this very tough cut is transformed into a delight, but with some texture rather than just sogginess.
    I have to say that before I purchased an electric pressure cooker I regarded the whole thing with great suspicion, but I am a bit of a convert.

    You are so right about the stock in the bottom of the pot being super flavorful. We often cook chicken breasts from frozen in a couple of cups of water in the IP because we are going to use them for various meals. We always save the stock that is leftover and it is very flavorful. Even though breasts don't have all of the things that you want to make a great stock, like connective tissue, it still has good flavor.

    i just discovered your video because I had bought an Instapot recently and was looking at recipies of things I could cook for dinner for my wife and I. The chicken looks wonderful and we both liked the look of the Instantpot chicken best. So I looked to see if you had the ingredients you used for your spices , which you did, thank you! And we discovered we are practically neighbors!!! Small world! Happy Valley here. Thanks for posting your video's! I am by NO means or dreams a good cook, but since I was able to retire before my wife, who is still working, I thought the least I could do is try to have something good ready for her when she gets home as she is working long days and is hungry when she gets home!
    I stumbled on the instantpot at Costco, interesting story as I was not there to buy one, but having recently visited my sister and family in Prineville OR they were all saying how much they LOVED the Instantpot, so a woman checking out in front of me had only 1 item, the instantpot, so I asked her is it really that good and she was saying OHHH YES and today it is on sale for the last day at costco for only $75 dollars, so I couldn't leave without one.
    LOL Just read Lloyd Bonafide's recipe for chicken, how funny because that has been my recipe for years now! We'll see how it goes with me cooking things wish me luck!

People left her snippy unnecessary remarks that are irrelevant to what she is trying to teach or convey. Sometimes people just wanna add extra information to come across superior, which is rude of THEM. I Would never be so ignorant to make such a comment. My initial post was clearly not meant in the negative fashion in which you perceived it. I was merely giving her some support and food for thought before people post nonsense that isn't pertaining to what she is trying to achieve by posting this video. 6 other viewers seemed to understand what I meant....👍🏽 I wasn't rude to you so no need to be rude to me.

    Really nicely done. Strain the jus in the bottom of the cookers. Whisk in just a teaspoon or so if Dijon mustard and serve it in the side. Totally cosmetic: but I brush my chicken lightly with just a touch of oil and soy sauce (they have gluten free varieties) just before you brown it. The sugars in the soy give a nicer browning to the meat. But this is very reminiscent of a recipe America’s Test Kitchen did for French Chicken In A Pot. One of my all time fave chicken dishes. I look forward to watching more of your videos as I just bought a machine like this and I’m excited to learn to use it.
