Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1 whole chicken 4–5 pounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lemon halved
  • 4 cloves garlic

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Trivet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and rub with olive oil.
  2. Mix spices and rub generously over the chicken.
  3. Stuff cavity with lemon and garlic.
  4. Add broth to Instant Pot and place trivet inside.
  5. Set chicken on trivet breast-side up.
  6. Cook on High Pressure for 28 minutes.
  7. Natural release for 15 minutes, then release remaining pressure.
