A whole chicken covered with olive oil and spices, stuffed with onion and garlic, then cooked in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker.

If you’ve been a reader here at Mom Spark for a while, you probably know that our slow cooker whole chicken recipe is one of our most popular.

So, with that delicious chicken in mind, I wanted to test it out in a new way with a pressure cooker or Instant Pot.

A whole chicken covered with olive oil and flavorful spices, stuffed with onion and garlic, then cooked rotisserie-style in a pressure cooker.

And it turned out beautiful. I did change it up a bit from my slow cooker version, but it’s not vastly different. Just made it a whole lot quicker!
