Buying a precooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store may be convenient but you’ll quickly discover cooking a whole chicken in the Instant Pot is just as easy! It’s important to note that this is a cook from a fresh recipe so make sure you thaw your bird beforehand!
We chose to season our chicken with lemon pepper seasoning, however, you can season it with whatever is Mom’s favorite! To truly infuse the flavor from the inside out we recommend filling the cavity with fresh ingredients such as lemon, fresh rosemary, and onion. Serve with Mom’s favorite side dishes or add to a salad.
