This is a superb way to cook a whole [[Chicken|chicken]] in a [[Pressure cooker|pressure cooker]]. An ideal recipe to create cold cooked chicken for [[salads]] and sandwiches, etc.

The result is similar to using our [[Steamed chicken|steamed chicken]] recipe which leaves the meat moist and full of flavour but it takes even less time!

{{RecipeIngredients
| 2 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 1 x 1.4kg [[Chicken|chicken]] (any size would do and cooking time should be similar for all sizes). Don't forget to remove the [[Parson's nose]]
| A huge handful of [[Fresh herbs|fresh herbs]] from the garden
| [[Bay]], [[Sage|sage]], [[cutting celery]], [[Parsley|parsley]], [[leeks]]
| 2 teaspoons of [[Garlic powder|garlic powder]]
| 1 teaspoon [[Salt|salt]]
| 2 tablespoons of [[Dark soy sauce|dark soy sauce]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Remove the giblets and the [[Parson's nose|parson's nose]]. Wash the bird in running water and pat dry - [[Talk:Whole chicken pressure cooker recipe|''see rationale'']]
| Heat the [[Olive oil|olive oil]] and carefully [[Brown|brown]] the [[Chicken|chicken]] on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes. I prefer to use my [[Wok|wok]] for this, though you could use the [[Pressure cooker|pressure cooker]].
| Discard the [[Oil|oil]]
| Place the bunch of [[Herbs|herbs]] in the base of the [[Pressure cooker|pressure cooker]] and cover with the upturned perforated trivet so the [[Chicken|chicken]] can sit on the and be out of the cooking liquid
| Mix 2 teaspoons of [[Garlic powder|garlic powder]], 1 teaspoon [[Salt|salt]], 2 tablespoons of [[Dark soy sauce|dark soy sauce]] to 1 litre of [[Boiling|boiling]] water, stir and add to the [[Pressure cooker|pressure cooker]]
| Sit the chicken on the perforated trivet, put the lid on and bring up to [[:Category:Pressure_cooker_recipes#Internal_temperature_related_to_pressure|high pressure]]
| Cook for 25 minutes
| [[De-pressurising_a_pressure_cooker#Natural_release|Release the pressure naturally]]
| Discard the cooking liquids and the herbs and serve or use as your recipe directs.

===Chef's notes===
Next time I will try reducing the pressurised cooking time to just 20 minutes. At 25 minutes it was certainly not overcooked but I just feel that 20 minutes together with the natural de-pressurising would be time enough.
