Delicious Tender Spiced Chicken in the Instant Pot

Don’t you just love it when you bite into a roasted or braised chicken and the tender meat easily falls off the bone leaving no scraps behind? That is exactly what you can expect from this recipe! Savoury and succulent meat encased in a nice golden crisp skin, the Tender Spiced Chicken is guaranteed to be a hit at the dinner table.

Thanks to the Instant Pot, we were able to create this delectable Tender Spiced Chicken in no time at all. After searing both sides of the chicken, allow the “Pressure Cook” function to complete the cooking process while you prepare some salad or mashed potatoes on the side. It can be enjoyed on its own or be shredded and tossed together with some freshly cut greens for a healthy and balanced meal. If you have any leftovers, save them for a tasty homemade sandwich for lunch the next day.
