Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose seasoning
- 2 tablespoons mixed Italian herbs (optional)
- 2 pounds (960 g) white potatoes, quartered
- 2 oz (60 g) unsalted butter
- 7 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 cups (500 ml) chicken stock
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- To Make a Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ cups (375 ml) chicken broth
Method
Step 1
Slice 3 cloves of garlic into thin slices and lay each under the chicken skin. Smash 2 cloves and place inside the chicken. Chop finely the remaining 2 garlic cloves for the basting butter.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon salt, herbs, and smashed garlic to the inside cavity of the chicken. Using fingers, peel the skin from the chicken breasts, then insert a few garlic slices underneath, including 3-4 pieces around the chicken breasts and a couple of garlic slices under the wings.
Step 3
Rub the chicken on both sides with the remaining seasoned salt and herbs. Set aside.
Step 4
Pour 2 cups (500 ml) chicken stock into the instant pot. Place potatoes in the stock, then sprinkle with a dash of salt.
Step 5
Set a trivet on top of potatoes. Arranger the seasoned chicken on the trivet, chicken breast up.
Step 6
Close the pot and lock the lid. Set the machine to cook at high pressure. Set the timer to cook for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Meanwhile, prepare the herb and garlic butter. In a heat-proof bowl, combine cubed butter, chopped garlic, and a pinch of dried herbs. Season with more salt. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Mix well and set aside.
Step 8
Using the Quick Release method, bring pressure to normal. Carefully unlock and open the lid. Using gloves, remove the trivet with chicken and transfer it to a large baking tray. Using a slotted spoon, remove cooked potatoes and transfer them to the same baking tray. Add a little cooking broth to the bottom of the tray.
Step 9
Brush the chicken and potatoes with garlic. Bake at 400 F (200 C) for about 20-25 minutes, then remove the chicken, leaving potatoes in for a further 10 minutes.
Step 10
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly. While stirring, slowly pour 1/2cup (125 ml) of chicken broth. Once it is incorporated into the roux, add the remaining broth.
Step 11
Stir for 2 minutes, or until it thickens to desired consistency. Season with more salt and black pepper, to taste.
