If cooking a FROZEN chicken you will not be able to stuff it, so skip the stuffing step. Proceed to the step where you add the chicken to the Instant Pot.
Remove giblets from a fresh chicken if present.
If cooking a fresh chicken, stuff the chicken with garlic cloves, lemon, fresh thyme, rosemary, oregano, and bay leaves.
Optional: Gently loosen the skin from the chicken breast, lift it from the meat with your fingers, and rub about 3 tablespoons of butter (or olive oil) under it. You can also add some seasoning.
Rub the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter (or olive oil) all over the chicken surface. You can also add some seasoning if desired.
Add a trivet with handles to the Instant Pot and add the chicken broth. Place the chicken, breast side down, on top of it.
Cover with the lid and lock it, point the valve to sealed.
Press High Pressure and set the timer to 24 minutes. See the blog post for cooking times based on chicken weight and if using fresh or frozen chicken.
After the cooking time is done and the Instant Pot beeps, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, followed by a quick release of the remaining pressure.
Using a food thermometer, check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast, it should be a minimum of 165 degrees F. If needed, pressure cook for 5-10 more minutes.
Turn on the Oven Broiler.
Melt butter and mix with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Open the pressure cooker lid remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and drizzled with olive oil.
Brush the chicken with the Buttery Mixture and place it under the broiler for about 5-8 minutes for extra crispy skin.
Watch the chicken closely, and if needed rotate the pan, so it doesn't burn. If needed brush more with the sauce from the pan. Broil until skin is golden-brown and crispy.
Also, use the remaining liquid to make gravy. Pour the liquid into a bowl and skim off the excess fat at the top.
Select saute, add the butter, and melt it. Add the flour and stir until combined and lightly golden, this will take about 1 minute.
Slowly, while stirring, add back the liquid to the pot, and stir until thickened and fully combined. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
Serve the chicken topped with gravy and your preferred side dish.
