For extra crispy skin, after pressure cooking, you can broil the chicken in the oven for a few minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Don't skip the searing step! It adds a lot of flavor and color to the chicken. Adjust the spices to your liking. Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or thyme. Save the leftover chicken broth for soups or sauces – it's incredibly flavorful! This recipe works best with a chicken around 2.5 pounds. Adjust cooking time slightly for larger or smaller birds.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavity with the lemon wedges. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Sauté and Sear: Turn on your Instant Pot and select the 'Sauté' function. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Rub half of this spice mixture all over the top (breast side) of the chicken. Once the Instant Pot is hot, carefully place the chicken breast-side down into the pot and sear until the skin is nicely browned. (3-4 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Flip and Sear Again: Rub the remaining spice mixture on the bottom of the chicken. Using tongs, carefully flip the chicken over and sear for another minute to lightly brown the other side. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and set aside. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Pressure Cook: Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Return the chicken to the pot, positioning it breast-side down on the trivet. Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select the 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' setting on high pressure and set the timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up inside the pot. (35 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-40 minutes. After the natural pressure release, check the internal temperature of the chicken. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register at least 165°F (74°C). If needed, you can manually release any remaining pressure. (10-40 minutes)
