Pressure Cooking Meat And Poultry Recipes

Steps:

• Combine salt, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, white pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Rub the outside of the chicken and inside the cavity generously with the seasoning mixture.
• Turn on an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour oil into the pot and allow to get hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Brown chicken in the hot oil on each side (breast side and back side) for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set it aside on a plate. Cancel Sauté function.
• Pour chicken stock into the pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.
• Place a steamer rack trivet in the bottom of the pressure cooker pot, then place the whole chicken, breast side up, on top of the trivet.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow about 6 minutes for pressure to build.
• Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 25 to 35 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.
• Open the lid and carefully remove the chicken from the pressure cooker. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• For best flavor and appetizing color, brown meats before cooking. Browning caramelizes the sugars in the meat and imparts luscious flavor. However if you're pressed for time, this step isn't absolutely necessary. In a pinch, you can fake a "brown" color by basting a roast with soy sauce prior to cooking. Once cooked, no one will ever be able to guess your quick trick to your roasted meat-look and golden brown gravy. The broiler can also be used to brown up ribs, shanks or chops after pressure-cooking. Times in the chart below are based on using a natural pressure release. Use the amount of liquid required by your pressure cooker. If meats are frozen, add 5 minutes to the time for each inch of thickness. When cooking frozen chicken, add 1 minute for parts and 1 minute per pound for a whole bird. Frozen Turkey? Add 4 minutes per inch of thickness.Meat and Poultry/Approx.
