Pressure Cooker Paprika Glazed Chicken

I love this recipe! I really love how I can just throw it in the pressure cooker and walk away. This is a simple meal and I have instructions on how to crisp it up so you have the best, moist and crispy bite—every bite!

My hubby got me a Ninja Foodi for Christmas. I freak’n LOVE it! I love that I can crisp up whatever I’m cooking after the pressure cooking has finished. It’s amazing guys! If you don’t have one and use a different pressure cooker you can achieve the same crisp if you put your chicken in an air fryer after. If you don’t have an air fryer you’ll still have a juicy chicken that will definitely be a delicious meal!

I used a 7 pound chicken. So the directions I give are for that weight. However, a good guide is to cook for 6 minuets per pound of chicken.

This is an easy chicken to put together. Simply mix the garlic and spices with olive oil. Brush the mixture on the chicken and cook!

After the chicken is done in the pressure cooker, simply switch to the air frying setting and cook until crisp!

Easy right?!

Instructions

1. Rinse chicken and pat it dry.
2. In a small bowl combine olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper and crushed garlic.
3. If using a Ninja Foodie, place chicken in air fryer basket then into the pressure cooker bowl. If using another pressure cooker, simply place the chicken into pan.
4. Tie the chicken legs together with twine.
5. Brush glaze over the chicken.
6. Place the pressure cooker lid on and cook for 40 minuets.
7. Once the chicken is done cooking allow the steam to escape before opening lid.
8. If using a Ninja Foodie—place air frying lid on and cook for an additional 15-20 minuets at 400°. If using a separate air fryer—simply place chicken in air fryer and cook with the same instructions above. If you are skipping the frying no problem. Just cook for a full 42 minuets and use a meat thermometer to double check the chicken is fully cooked. It should reach an internal temp of 165°
9. After the chicken has crisped allow the chicken to rest with the lid off for about 10 minuets before carving.
10. Enjoy!
