There's zero waste when you cook a whole chicken in the Instant Pot. My 6 1/2 pound bird produced enough meat for several meals, plus 2 quarts of broth AND 2 quarts of stock!
Hi Kevin, I'm writing from Suffolk in England. I love your channel which I check out almost every day when I relax with my afternoon tea and cake! It's very peaceful to watch you whilst learning so many wonderful recipes and following your daily routine and table ideas etc. Thank you 😊 Best wishes from Kay (UK)
Thanks Kevin, you are a cook after my own heart. I do the same thing with my Costco whole chickens, and am always amazed by the deliciousness of the meat and the copious amounts of stock you can get from one bird. Like the whey I save when I strain my homemade Instant Pot yogurt, homemade chicken stock has become a kitchen must. (I use the whey from my yogurt to give a sourdough zing to an ordinary bread batch, and it also makes the lightest scones and biscuits you ever dreamed of. You can also marinate chicken pieces in it for extra tenderness.)
Thank you, Mr. Kevin! This is a really great video in that you do so many things to teach us how to utilize all parts of the chicken, AND how to do so in an Instant Pot. Waste not, want not has always been a good saying and very true in the case of properly cooking a chicken. While the cost is high, the quality surpasses it in how many things you can make with this chicken meat and carcass. Thank you again! Good Eating! ☺🤎🙏🍗
Hi Kevin. Its interesting to see the use of an insta-pot...I may have to look into to purchasing one. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward for tomorrow's video.
Very nice video! Thanks ❤️ I think I will actually try to use my instapot that I got for Christmas w years ago! It's brand-new in the box! This will be wonderful 😊
Hi Kevin. I have a 6 quart Duo Instant Pot and love using it! Please offer more recipes using an Instant Pot. Have you made a cheese cake in it? Thank you :-) This is such a lovely basic way to cook a chicken. ~ Diane
Kevin - I made a plain one and it came out well. There is a nice sounding raspberry cheesecake recipe in the IP recipe book and/or I would love to see you make a rich lemon cheese cake. I ordered a cheese cake pan, plus a lot of other interesting pans and IP accessories. I just got busy on our farm, but now I'm ready to bring forward the Instant Pot again. I'll bet it will come in handy on those spring days when you want more time in the garden. We are getting ready to order seeds this week. What growing zone are you? We are 4B ~ Diane
I find that price for a chicken that size perfectly reasonable. I routinely pay a bit more for farm-raised organic chicken. The flavor and quality of the meat is unsurpassed and, as Kevin pointed out, it does make several meals. This method of preparation also does use every part of the bird with no waste.
Suggestion get a fat separator (cuisipro 4 cup). Broth is released from bottom of the fat separator and silicone plug controls the release of broth and fat which rises to top. So easy and a time saver as well. Love your recipes!
Kevin, this looks so delicious. I watched your chicken and dumpings recipe last night, and determined that I would make it today. However, I do not have the Instant Pot. Could you give me a pointer or two if I use my iron enamel-coated dutch oven? Thanks so much. Pat
omg the cost of your chicken floored me--but as you put it you will get multi meals out of it so it might not be soo bad--it is a hugh chicken--still wow on the price!!! look forward to more ideas for cooking in an insta pot as i just got one and have not used it yet!! :)
Diana- I'm certain that would be an organic chicken. We buy organic chicken from our farming neighbor, so no middle man. They are so large, I ask for them to be cut in half. A 6 lb half runs me $15.00. The taste is amazing! Kevin get a lot of mileage out of that whole bird and so do we.
