Whole Chicken in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer

[@kellydenton7447]

I tried this today for New Years Day & I was so nervous about it because this was the first time I ever cooked a whole chicken but I ran across your video & had to try it. I just wanted to let you know that it turned out great & I love it. Thank you for the video for a beginner like me. Take care.

[@SmokingBBQ]

So happy to hear that Kelly! Nothing makes me happier than seeing people following my recipes and surprising themselves at how easy it is to cook delicious food. I appreciate your comment, and thanks for stopping by!

[@MrEunuch]

Just picked up my Duo a few days ago and after trying some roast potatoes I came across your video and cooked exactly per the instructions and it's come out great. Thanks for posting this up

[@SmokingBBQ]

Glad to hear the recipe came out great for you! I appreciate you leaving the comment, thanks for stopping by!

I just got this pot , thanks for showing how to use it for both air fry and pressure cook . Im pressure cooking a whole chicken for Thanksgiving this year 😊

[@Heyhowyadoin314]

I bought the 8qt instantpot duo airfryer and I dont have any friends coming to dinner or any family members either. I just like the extra space so as to put extra potatoes or other things to go with stew or even a chicken. Actually this is how I found you! I need to watch you today so I can make my chicken.

[@luckycatipa]

You and your daughter are adorable! Thank you for the review, I have a duo crisp and was skeptical about it being able to cook a whole chicken.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it!

I watched this before we used our Duo Crisp for the first time, also cooking a chicken. It came out great and your video was very helpful. Thanks!

This is the third time I prepared a 5lb whole chicken in my Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer using this recipe and it comes out PERFECTLY!

[@SmokingBBQ]

I love hearing that Bradley, thanks for stopping by!

MY FRIEND, ditch the black basket and use a fold out steamer type basket in instapot. it allows full use of diameter of the instapot. added benefit is the chrome foldout steamer basket are chrome and reflect more thermal energy on meat. they have better airflow too for convection

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sheilamore3261]

Oh wow after watching this I just got my Instant duo crisp and I’m going to make a whole chicken tomorrow thank you so much for showing me how you did it I hope mine will turn out good I’ll let you know thanks I’m a beginner never cooked on one before😁👍💕

[@SmokingBBQ]

Good luck on the cook Sheila, I hope it comes out better than you expected! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

[@maryboyd4918]

[@gregorysmith3097]

Nice video, just ordered one and will be doing this fairly soon. Extra points for bringing your kid into the video. More KZbinrs should do the same. Kids are funny, never know what they will say.

[@photobear15]

is there a ceramic coated inner liner for this duo crisp instant pot? Every one i see online says "Not compatible with duo crisp instant pot" is there a reason i can't use the ceramic coated liner and switch it out to the stainless steal one b4 pressure cooking / air frying? please help

[@cheryljohnson9775]

Great recipe and tutorial. Followed for my first use of my duo. So easy!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment and for stopping by!

[@chrisberry3146]

Might have to get an air fryer that chicken looked excellent!!! I think it’s cool your kids get some screen time!!! Nice video!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks 👍

[@teeks028]

Thank you for this video. Followed the steps and the chicken came out great.

[@glowca508]

Forgot to remove liquid first before air frying?

[@glowca508]

Oops missed - got interrupted while watching.🤦🏻‍♀️

[@DiscoveringTheArtofLiving]

Thanks for this! I got one of these for Christmas and will make this tonight!!

[@agniesia1984]

I just received parcel with my instant pot. This video is really usefull and funny.

[@Heyhowyadoin314]

I just watched a youtube short or a tik tok about the person who created Sapporo and it was interesting to learn about him.

[@hnybdee]

I’ve been very happy brining my chicken that roasting it spatchcocked. I got this device last week and I’m trying it out fo dinner tonight. My biggest gripe so far is finding space in my kitchen to keep this beast! lol Now I need to figure out how to get that thing out of the fryer basket without it falling to pieces.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Getting it out of the basket is a bit of a challenge. I took a large set of tong and carefully put one side inside the chicken and lifted it out. Good luck!

[@annasmith8321]

So while your cooking it, you don’t keep the pressure thing released ? Lol I’m afraid of it blowing up from so much pressure lol. Newbie here

[@SmokingBBQ]

It wouldn't be pressure cooking unless that valve is closed. Thanks for stopping by!

[@ashleysimmons8245]

What if the whole chicken is frozen?

[@DaddyDenzandClodVlogs06221972]

awesomely amazing , looks really good and yummy , more power to you my friend

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thank you so much Daddy Denz. Thanks for stopping by!

[@jdmnismo7]

Is it bad if thr chicken ends up being submerged in the water halfway? I also air fried it but I didn't get a crispy result though 🤔

[@SmokingBBQ]

I had mine is some liquid as well. Next time try frying the skin a bit longer. Thanks for stopping by!

[@jdmnismo7]

@@SmokingBBQ what if i use broil?

[@SmokingBBQ]

@@jdmnismo7 use broil. Keep an eye on it, wait till it gets crispy.

[@hellhappinessrepeat]

Is it possible to do a whole chicken with only the air fryer lid?

[@SmokingBBQ]

I don't think so. The skin would probably burn, and I wouldn't image the chicken getting fully cooked that way. But I have never tried it, but that would be my guess. Thanks for stopping by!

[@hellhappinessrepeat]

@@SmokingBBQ Thanks so much! Do you know if a buttermilk-marinated chicken will work with your cooking instructions?

[@SmokingBBQ]

@@hellhappinessrepeat I would think it would work fine. Make sure to dry off the chicken after pressure cooking it, otherwise it will be difficult to crisp up the skin. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck!

[@hellhappinessrepeat]

That’s great! Thank you so much. Definitely will let you know how it turns out next week. Thanks for your help.

[@hellhappinessrepeat]

@@SmokingBBQ Doing the buttermilk whole chicken tonight. Should I include the buttermilk marinade in the pot for moisture when I pressure cook?

[@berzerkzero]

Can you add beer instead of chicken broth into instant pot?

[@SmokingBBQ]

Why not? Feel free to experiment.

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

I use beer for pot roast ... about 1/2 and 1/2 with beef broth. I think it is delicious ... never tried it with chicken.

[@harjindersaroya6604]

Do you know if it is possible to cook the chicken using only the air fryer lid and bypassing the pressure cooking with the liquid?

[@SmokingBBQ]

I don't believe cooking the chicken from start to finish with just the air fryer lid would be possible. The outside would start to burn and the meat on inside and towards the bottom would not be fully cooked. The pressure cooking allows the whole bird to cook completely, and the air fryer lid just helps crisp up the skin. Thanks for stopping by!

[@fallguy4209]

Costco makes the best chicken. But this recipe is great

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

I didn't read through all of the comments ... BUT ... did you discard the broth and then NOT make broth from the carcass??? Maybe I misunderstood :) ... and maybe if you did discard you have "seen the light". I have been pressure cooking chicken in a 2016 Instant Pot ... when I wanted a supply of shredded chicken and wanted to make bone broth: pressure cook chicken 8 min/pound, debone when cool enough, carcass, skin, etc. back in the pot, cover with water, pressure cook for 90 min, strain and Woo-Hoo!!! - the best chicken broth. I freeze in "souper cubes". I also freeze portions of the deboned chicken. Fast forward to now and I just upgraded to the new (2022) Instant Pot Pro Crisp Ultimate One Lid (6.5 quart) which is pretty much the duo crisp but "one lid": Air fryer with removable pressure cooker part. So, have been looking at Pro and Duo Crisp recipes. Just finished a whole chicken: 25 min pressure cook, 25 minutes air fry (in 10 min increments). Perfect ... just like I'd roasted in the oven except I did not have to heat up my kitchen! Thanks for the technique! Oh ... so after the pressure cook, I drained the inner pot and kept that. Then, after eating what we wanted fresh air fryed with crispy skin, etc., I deboned, added all non meat and saved broth plus water to cover back in the instant pot. It is now pressure cooking for 90 minutes for my broth. Seriously ... no need for store bought broth :)

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thank you for leaving such a nice comment!

[@nsayed2033]

What size is your duo crisp?

[@SmokingBBQ]

8 quart. Thanks for stopping by!

[@ronkasdorf]

You can actually SousVide with that Instant Pot.

[@SmokingBBQ]

I have heard that. Would like to test how accurately it would hold temperature.

[@bobhope8412]

It's "INSTANT" pot, not instapot

[@rainbowpandasays8851]

Should of called in “Insta pot “ catchier

[@ThomCoe]

People have regional accents. The guy sounds like he’s from the mid west. Me being a NYer, I’m sure you’d hate hearing me say Instint Pot. Don’t be a jerk.

[@OttawaGuy]

Great video, but it’s called an “Instant Pot”, not “Insta Pot”!!!!!!???????

[@deliabravo3671]

The chicken looks good. Never knew that there was a duo machine. The only problem is that it is so big and takes a lot of room to store.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Yea, it is a big unit. But having that second lid to turn it into an Air Fryer is better than having two cooking devices. My wife loves cooking with the Instant Pot, and I have to admit I do too. Thanks for stopping by!
