Absolutely! Frozen chicken works great in the Instant Pot. Frozen meat will take a bit longer to cook as well as build pressure within the Instant Pot, so add a few extra minutes to your cook time. You can also skip the searing portion of the recipe and get right to the pressure cooking with a frozen bird.
How do you adjust this recipe to cook a larger chicken in the Instant Pot?
All you need to do is add a few minutes to your cook time. You need about 8 minutes per pound when pressure cooking a whole raw chicken. So if your chicken is 2 pounds heavier than what is called for, just add about 15 minutes to your cook time. Find your most pressing Instant Pot questions answered here.
