Introduction
The Instant Pot pressure cooker has changed the way I cook because it’s such an easy way to make healthy, delicious meals. And there’s nothing easier than Instant Pot chicken.
Chicken is one of the most versatile proteins, and you can make Instant Pot chicken in less time than other methods of cooking. Chicken is easy to make in the Instant Pot when you’re having a busy day.
In this guide, I provide tips on how to make chicken in your Instant Pot so that it is always tender and flavorful.
I also share some of my favorite Instant Pot chicken recipes from my blog and other blogs including chicken breasts, thighs, legs, wings, and Mexican, Indian, Thai, Asian, Italian, and more!
Tips For How to Cook Instant Pot Chicken
- Use chicken pieces that are about the same size or cut the chicken into equally sized pieces in order to cook them evenly in your electric pressure cooker.
- Cooking chicken breast can be tricky at times. You can get more juicy chicken breasts by cooking them in broth or cooking liquid. This prevents it from drying out because it’s such a lean cut.
- Avoid huge pieces of chicken. The smaller pieces just have more flavor.
- For tender and juicy chicken, brown larger pieces of chicken using the sauté mode, before pressure cooking. The caramelization from the browning adds another layer of flavor.
- Alternatively, you can do a reverse sear and brown the chicken pieces after pressure cooking them.
- Pressure cooking can dilute spices, so season the chicken well to make it flavorful.
- When sauteing before pressure cooking, deglaze the pot well to prevent the burn message.
- Cooking time will vary depending on the cut of the chicken and the thickness of the pieces. Increase pressure cooking time if you’re using whole pieces of chicken and the recipe calls from cut up pieces.
- Pressure cook chicken on high pressure.
- When possible, do a natural release of pressure. Doing a quick release can cause the pressure to drop rapidly in a few minutes. This causes the natural juices to be expelled which can cause the chicken to be dry and stringy. Although a 10-minute resting period is adequate, a full natural pressure release allows the maximum juices to be retained.
- In many recipes, you can use fresh or frozen chicken. When cooking frozen chicken, increase the cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes.
- Place the chicken on a trivet to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot, and causing a burn notice. This applies to recipes that have less liquid.
- If your chicken comes out too dry, cook it again at high pressure for about 10 minutes with a natural release. It might not be as flavorful but it will be moist.
- If you have to pick between chicken breasts and thighs, choose thighs because the Instant Pot is best suited for darker meat.
- Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting or slicing.
Chicken Cooking Time Chart
The following times are general guides for cooking different cuts of chicken. Actual cooking times can vary based on the thickness of the chicken pieces and the quantity of chicken you’re cooking.
| Cut of Chicken | Cook Time | Pressure Release |
|---|---|---|
| Boneless skinless chicken thighs | 8 minutes | Natural release |
| Boneless skinless chicken breasts | 8 minutes | Natural release or 10 minute natural release |
| Bone-in chicken thighs | 10 minutes | Natural release |
| Bone-in chicken drumsticks or legs | 10 minutes | Natural release |
| Bone-in chicken breasts | 10 minutes | Natural release or 10-minute natural release |
| Chicken wings | 5 minutes | Natural release then broil or air fry for 10 minutes |
| Frozen chicken (separated pieces only) | Add 2 to 3 minutes | Natural release |
| Shredded chicken | Add 2 minutes | Natural release |
Chicken Breast Recipes
Instant Pot chicken breasts are the most popular cut of chicken. Although the best chicken for the Instant Pot is dark meat, chicken breasts can be moist and juicy in the Instant Pot if you avoid overcooking them!
