ROAST CHICKEN TOASTER OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, inside and out. (We use 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt per lb.) Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Let sit 1 hour to allow salt to penetrate, or chill, uncovered, up to 1 day ahead.
• Place a rack in upper third of oven and set a 12" cast-iron skillet or 3-qt. enameled cast-iron baking dish on rack. Preheat oven to 425°.
• Meanwhile, toss potatoes, butter, thyme, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Once oven reaches temperature, pat chicken dry with paper towels and lightly coat with half of remaining oil; sprinkle with dry rub, if using. Drizzle remaining oil into hot skillet (this helps keep the chicken from sticking and tearing the skin). Place chicken in the center of skillet and arrange potatoes around. Roast until potatoes are golden brown and crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 155°, 50–60 minutes (temperature will climb to 165° as chicken rests). Let chicken rest in skillet at least 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board and carve. Serve with potatoes.

Steps:

• On 6-quart Instant Pot®, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Melt butter in insert. Rub chicken all over with seasoned salt, and place in insert, breast side down; sear 4 to 6 minutes or until browned. Turn and sear on back side 2 to 4 minutes longer; using tongs, transfer to plate. Select CANCEL.
• Carefully place rack in insert. Add broth. Place chicken breast side up on rack. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 20 minutes. Select CANCEL. Keep pressure valve in SEALING position to release pressure naturally. Internal temperature in thigh should be at least 165°F using instant-read thermometer. If chicken is not done, select MANUAL and cook on high pressure 2 to 5 minutes longer. Select CANCEL. Keep pressure valve in SEALING position to release pressure naturally.
• When cool enough to handle, carefully transfer chicken to cutting board, and remove rack.
• Select SAUTE, and adjust to normal; heat liquid to simmering. In small bowl, beat cornstarch and water with whisk; stir into liquid and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• Carve chicken; serve with gravy.
