Follow The Directions

01

Step

Pour 2 teaspoons olive oil into the pressure cooker to coat the bottom. (1 minute)

02

Step

Arrange onion rings, carrot slices, and lemon slices in the bottom of the pressure cooker. Pour vegetable stock over onion mixture. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Season the entire chicken with salt and pepper by using your hands to pat the salt and pepper into the skin. Place garlic head and thyme sprigs into the cavity of the chicken. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Mix Marsala wine, brown mustard, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, celery seed, and dried parsley together in a bowl. Slowly stream 1/4 cup olive oil into wine mixture while continuing to whisk wine mixture until rub is emulsified. Spread about 3/4 of the rub over the entire chicken using your hands. Place chicken in the pressure cooker. Pour remaining rub over the chicken. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Place lid on the pressure cooker, seal, and cook chicken under high pressure, 16 to 20 minutes. Release pressure according to manufacturer's instructions for quick-release. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (25 minutes)

06

Step

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Place chicken in a roasting pan. Ladle about 1/2 of the liquid from the pressure cooker over the chicken. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Broil chicken in the preheated oven until skin becomes golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove garlic head from the cavity of the chicken. Squeeze the garlic cloves out the skins into a bowl and mash. (7 minutes)

09

Step

Skim excess fat from the liquid in the pressure cooker and remove onion, carrot, and lemon and discard. Place pressure cooker over medium heat; cook and stir the liquid until browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Whisk mashed garlic into the browned sauce; season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce alongside chicken. (5 minutes)

For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels before applying the rub.
Don't discard the vegetables after pressure cooking! They're packed with flavor and can be pureed into a delicious soup.
If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with dry sherry or chicken broth.

    I was a bit skeptical about pressure cooking a whole chicken, but it turned out amazing. The skin was crispy and the meat was so tender.

    I used chicken broth instead of Marsala wine, and it still turned out great.
