How to Make Insta-Pot Roasted Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 Whole Chicken
- 1 teaspoon each: Thyme, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder & Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Cup Water
- Olive Oil
Directions:
- Wash and Prep Chicken. Add a little oil to the Insta-Pot. Put in the chicken. Add spices. Pour water over chicken with seasoning.
- Set Insta-Pot to Poultry and let it cook.
- Once done, you can make the sauce right away or let the Chicken remain in the pot until you are ready to make the gravy. The insta-pot could be turned off manually or placed on warm manually or you could let it turn on automatically on cool down. It wills stay warm for a few hours.
- When ready to make the gravy, remove the chicken unto a serving tray. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to keep it moist.
- Set chicken aside.
Optional Gravy (but recommended)
For gravy: 1/2 Cup water, 1 Tablespoon All-Purpose flour, extra salt and pepper if needed.
- Over medium heat, pour the gravy from the cooked chicken into a saucepan.
- Mix 1/2 cup water with the flour until fully combined. Pour the flour mixture into the gravy.
- Stir continually until the flour and water mixture is combined with the gravy (this will prevent the flour from settling).
- Taste and add a little extra salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Remove gravy from heat. Pour over the chicken or into a small serving dish alongside the chicken.
- Rice goes good with this dish. Scoop rice into plate. Spoon pieces of chicken over rice or on the side of the plate. Add a little gravy. Yum!
