Instructions
Instruction:
- Wash and pat dry chicken
- Generously season chicken with salt and pepper
- Set instant pot to sauté function and add ghee, diced onions, and diced celery, and warm the oil for a couple minutes
- Add whole chicken, breast side down, and brown 2-3 minutes
- Carefully brown each side for 2-3 minutes to get skin a bit crispy
- Carefully take whole chicken out and place on cutting board
- Season with meat and potato seasoning, stuff cavity of chicken with sliced lemon, onions, and celery
- Add bone broth to instant pot, trivet, and carefully place whole chicken on trivet
- Close instant pot, seal valve, set to poultry, and cook 18 minutes if you did not brown the chicken first (you want to cook 6 minutes per lb.) But since I browned each side I would suggest cooking between 14-15 minutes
- Once done let pressure release naturally (10-12 minutes)
- Carefully remove chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes or so before slicing up
