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.

  • BBQ Sauce

Pro Tips:

Twine: You do not need to tie the legs together, however, if the whole chicken does not fit, you may want to tie the two legs together, so the chicken fits inside the Instant Pot.

Size of Chicken: The chicken size that will fit into your Instant Pot, will depend on the size of the Instant Pot. Larger Instant Pots will fit larger whole chickens.

Internal Temperature: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees F when fully cooked. Remember to check the thickest part of the chicken, before removing the chicken from the Instant Pot.

BBQ Sauce: Any BBQ sauce will work for this recipe, I always use my favorite, (Sweet Baby Rays, but any sauce will work)

Water: You can use water in place of the chicken broth, however, I felt that the broth gives the chicken more flavor.

How To Store Leftover Chicken:

Leftover chicken can be a challenge to store. It can get dry and rubbery if it’s not stored properly. Here are some tips to help you keep your leftovers fresh. Leftover chicken is great for salads, sandwiches, tacos, or just eating straight up! So don’t let it go to waste – here are some tips to help you store it properly.

First, try to store your leftover chicken in an airtight container. This will help keep the moisture in. If you don’t have an airtight container, you can wrap the chicken in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Second, place the leftover chicken in the fridge as soon as possible. The cooler temperature will help keep the meat from drying out.
