The Method
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and pierce the skin in several places using a fork or knife. Select the SAUTE function, scroll down and select CHICKEN BREAST add the oil and allow to heat.
Add the chicken breast side down, and brown as much of the surface area as possible for 4-6 minutes.
Turn the chicken over and add the stock and garlic cloves (if using), then press the BACK button.
Put the lid on and close the pressure valve then select the PRESSURE COOK function, scroll down to CHICKEN WHOLE and adjust the time to suit the size guide below and then press START:
900g - 1.2kg - 25 minutes
1.2kg - 1.4kg - 35 minutes
