Description
A whole chicken with a dill pickle relish rub cooked quickly in your Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (4-5 pound) chicken
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 (10 oz) jar dill pickle relish
Instructions
- Prepare the Instant Pot by pouring 1 cup water or chicken broth in the bottom of the pot and placing a trivet into the pot.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Remove anything in the cavity. Rub olive oil all over the chicken. Rub salt and pepper all over the chicken. Place the lemon in the cavity.
- Separate the skin from the chicken by gently pulling apart and rub about a half cup of the relish in between the layers. Replace skin to seal in juices.
- Place the chicken, breast side down, on the trivet. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 24 minutes for a 4 pound chicken or 30 minutes for a 5 pound chicken. When time is up let pot sit for 15-20 minutes and then move valve to venting and remove the lid.
- If desired you can use an air fryer lid to crisp up the skin (air fry for 4-8 minutes at 425 degrees). Carve the chicken and serve. Or you can remove the chicken from the bones like I did and stir in extra relish. Salt and pepper to taste.
