Instant Pot Lemon Garlic Chicken

[@Babett_B]

Instant Pot owners: to brown the chicken, hit the saute button, then press it again so the display changes from "Normal" to "More". That means it sautes/browns at a higher temperature.

"Skin side down to start" and then putting them back in "skin side up" Such a small thing to say but so helpful. Thank you so much!

[@pysankar]

Just to clarify, a natural pressure release is when you allow the pressure to subside without doing anything. What he did by manually releasing the pressure is called a quick pressure release.

Lol, I thought the same but I got what he meant... I think he was so hungry for such delicious meal to be ready that his brain started mixing words xD

[@dudinka9176]

But the recipe says "10 minutes natural release", go figure...

Ah that's what that means. So let it sit when it changes to 'Keep Warm'.

One day I was cooking rice by boiling it in a pot of water. A lady from the Philippines who worked for us came into the kitchen and saw me doing that. She looked at me like I was from another planet and with a bewildered look on her face she asked "Why in the world are you not using a rice cooker to cook that rice?" I said "A rice cooker? I didn't even know there was such a thing as that." I went onto Amazon and bought an Instant Pot. Wow what a major night and day difference when it comes to cooking rice. 12 minutes and the rice is cooked. It only takes 1 cup of water. No filling up a big pot with water and having the water boil over the side of the pot. It's so easy and simple and fast. I am going to have to try this recipe one of these days. It looks good. Thanks for making the video.

[@fatenbrunei7057]

And the best thing is that you can just leave the rice to cook in the pot and it won’t burn. It has an auto off function.

[@212days]

@@fatenbrunei7057 Yeah it's a game changer as far as cooking rice goes (compared to the method of boiling water in a pot.)

[@darkreligio8128]

Imo instant pot sucks at cooking rice. I have a tiny little 2 cup rice cooker. Got it at target for like $25. You can also get them at thrift stores.

[@212days]

@@darkreligio8128 Well after cooking rice many many many times over the years using an Instant Pot I would say they are Excellent at cooking rice. Like 100% perfect. What is your reason for thinking that they suck at it?

[@tanyarobinson1146]

​@@darkreligio8128 mine always burns rice or pasta

[@johnnyangel64]

I followed this demo. 3-4 min. to saute garlic & onion in the instant pot = burned garlic and a quick release seizes up the meat 😝. Use a moderate saute on the onion and than add and saute garlic till fragrant. 10-15 min natural release on meat will prevent dried out meat

[@Hacker-xe8yv]

If you're using Instant Pot to brown put saute setting on "more". When you switch to onions and garlic switch saute setting to "less" - and, watch the garlic. You may want to add it toward the end of the onion saute.

[@reggiedunlop2222]

I own both an Instant Pot and an air fryer. You’re correct that they both perform 2 different methods of cooking. My Instant Pot gets more use just because of its versatility. Tender juicy cuts of meat like ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs cook up great in the Instant Pot then get crisped up in a cast iron pan or broiled in the oven after cooking. Thanks for posting.

[@mattgrober311]

Just made this recipe in my Instant Pot. Wow - just wow. It’s so good.

[@outoftheforest7652]

It looks good. I am going to buy some chicken thighns tonight.

[@robbiejacobs4379]

Just finished making and eating this. So easy to prep and cook and tasted so good, I went for seconds. One thing perhaps is add the garlic in the last third of the onion cooking stage. This will prevent any potential burning. I also crushed and chopped my garlic instead of mince to lower the risk of burn. 10/10 dish dude!

[@307MsKrys]

I made this tonight. Delicious and quick! Exactly what we need on a busy weekday.

[@PatH902101]

Natural Release means letting it alone, you did a Quick Release. From my personal experience, if cooking meats of any kind, allow for a natural release for at least 10 minutes sometimes up to 15 minutes, then Quick Release for any remaining pressure. Just saying, IMHO. Thanks for your Channel, it is very informative and relatable. Thank you. ☘

[@fatenbrunei7057]

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and cooked rice first. Came back to YT to see what else I can cook with it.

[@jeffpitt3227]

That was a quick release.

[@ACSl8terDaB-Izer]

Looks great and probably gonna try this tonight. 2 things though, 1. I believe the Natural release method isn’t the Manual Release of pressure but whatevs, 2. I usually like to grate a little additional lemon zest into almost all my lemon flavored/infused recipes to add a little extra natural lemon flavor and it feels good to use everything I have, throwing away even less. Thanks for letting me share

[@ACSl8terDaB-Izer]

To explain about the Natural and Manual Pressure release. Manual Pressure Release is literally the Manual flipping of the pressure valve. Natural Pressure Release is keeping the lid on, not touching any pressure valve, and with the heat no longer on the pressure will Naturally and Slowly release. This does cook things a little longer so isn’t used as often but there are a couple instances where you may want to cut the high heat but let things stew a little longer like in the case of….well, stew.

[@inggritifani7677]

This recipe is very very good. Excelent!!! This is my first time making it and very tasty!! The difference i did that I dont like too strong italian seasoning and i only used 1/2 tsp and come up soo good. Thank you!!

"Two shots of vodka..." (Proceeds to pour 1/4 of the bottle in) 😆😆😆

[@Twilyhtmist]

This is why the Instant Pot Duo was created - has an additional "air fryer top", so the pot can serve 2 purposes. FYI: I own the 8 quart Duo, so if you are cooking for a family of 4 or more, this will quickly get tedious having to air fry in batches. If its a family of 3 you still have to do 2-3 batches for the amount of food you'd need, so for 4 or more people you'd just do better to buy the Instant Pot's Air Fryer/Convection Oven if you plan on doing a LOT of air fryer stuff all at once... like, rib racks, rotisserie chicken and casserole dish sized things.

[@benjamincsikos3461]

This one was so good it's hit our monthly freezer meal rotation. We made a batch of 33 meals in one go and this was 5 of them - with 12 thighs in each serving. We prerubbed all the thighs, then added all of the ingredients described here into the bag and (sacreligiously) froze the lot into a brick of ice that sits on the trivet. It means we skip the browning and actually do more like 40 minutes rather than 8... then hit it with the blowtorch before serving. Still an absolute winner and amazing for about 3 minutes work at dinner time. Cheers from Australia!

I use both my instant pot and my air fryer oven. Sometimes both on the same day, even for the same meal.

[@garrett6064]

I don't think he knows it's called a pressure cooker. He certainly doesn't know what a natural release is. Additionally, although the button is labeled 'sauté', the instant pot will brown all your food types. Lastly, any pressure cooker worth its salt should have a lock that prevents it from opening when cooking. But I would never test this. If you were to open the lid, it would be like a balloon popping, but instead of air bursting out, it would be 600°+F steam (and some onion). You will end up in the burn ward. Don't try to open it. Do not allow immature people to use it.

[@limpenghwee9299]

Thank you for teaching & sharing. I bought a multi-cooker & have been watching many videos. Yours is by far one of the very best! Your explanation is detailed and clear, your dish is also with sophistication (with consideration on flavour, texture etc. Quite a few videos I watched merely capitalized on the "speed" of a pressure cooker, so they simply drop everything in). I think your video value adds to a dish - not compromising on flavour yet shortens the time & effort. Much appreciated.

I shall try this tonight, but as I have the new instant pot duo crisp I will use the air fryer button to crisp the chicken. Not sure if I should do that before or after the pressure cook?

[@AB-xf9rm]

Natural pressure release is when you dont touch the valve and instead let it sit for another 8-10 minutes depressurizing. Moving the steam valve is a manual pressure relase because you, are forcing the pressure release.

[@mariaalvarado9855]

Wow u are so good explaining everything 😊🎉

If you have not already check out the Instant Pot Duel Crisp. It has an instant pot that is 11 in 1 and it has an air fryer lid. Much much more than just stews and soups. I used mine tonight for the first time with the air fryer lid it was A-mazing! It may be a good investment for you to try out.

[@alixhice]

Making this tonight. Can’t wait - but I have a couple questions… 1) Is 1/3 cup of chicken broth enough liquid? My Instant Pot requires a cup of liquid. Also, I didn’t you perform a quick release? Natural pressure release (NPR) means letting the pressure release on its own before venting. Can you clarify please?

[@rickwiles8835]

I have the same questions

[@bonniepwtf]

It was almost like he had no clue what he was doing. Acted scared when he did the quick release, so dramatic 🙄, didn't add the plate juices back, kept calling it the Instant Pot when it clearly wasn't, "lemon" looked like an orange to me, never mentioned need to deglaze the bottom of the pot after browning, didn't add enough liquid to pressure cook, etc.....I was not impressed with his presentation at all.

I made this last night, included one beaten egg and a corn starch slurry at the end to make a thicker sauce, somewhat like a lemon egg drop soup. Delicious!!
