Instant Pot Brown Sugar BBQ Whole Roasted Chicken

Instant Pot-Brown Sugar BBQ Whole Chicken

This is a GREAT go-to meal. I usually stock up on whole chickens, when they are on sale. They make a great family dinner, and we usually have leftovers, so it’s also a great budget meal.

They can be flavored with anything. My favorite is a knock-off of the customary rotisserie chicken found in the grocery stores.

You only need a few ingredients,

Start by cleaning the chicken, with salt and water, and remove all of the “extras”

Coat the chicken with the rub mix.

Add the chicken to the Instant Pot,
