- Add your seasonings to the chicken while it is on the rack.
- Add water into the Instant Pot in the bottom where the vegetables are.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and seal the valve. Put on "Manual" on high pressure for 6 minutes for each pound. If you have a 5-pound chicken then it would be 30 minutes.
