Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 trivet
Ingredients
- 4.5 pound chicken frozen, mine was 4.4 lbs. so timing is appropriate for that size
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- 1 small onion sliced
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Pour chicken broth or water into your pressure cooker followed by your sliced onions.
- Place your trivet on top of that (if it rests on the onions that is okay).
- Unwrap your frozen chicken and place it on top of your trivet.
- Close your lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 60 minutes.
- Allow to naturally release steam for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove chicken (it will want to fall apart), and put it into an 8x8 dish. Then you can make gravy from chicken drippings if you like.
- Sprinkle the top with seasoning salt, and/or whatever you usually add on top of your whole chicken when you bake it.
- Turn your broiler on and put your chicken in for 3-4 minutes or until skin crisps up as much as you'd like.
- Serve!! (we love shredding it from there and making soft chicken tacos)
