NOTE: This only works with 8 qt. electric pressure cookers; will not fit in 6 qt versions. Remove neck etc. from inside cavity if there is one. Discard all innards.
Pour 3/4 of a cup of beer from your beer can into your pressure cooker.
You do not need to season your chicken, but we do. Coat the outside of the chicken with olive oil and minced garlic. Sprinkle seasoned salt and garlic salt on the outside as well.
Put your beer can with remaining beer inside on the bottom, middle of your pressure cooker.
Put the open cavity of your chicken facing down and lower it onto your beer can, inserting it as far as it will go inside the chicken.
Close your lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 25 minutes. Pot: pressure, high, 25 minutes. Crock Pot Express: pressure adjust (or manual pressure button), high, 25 minutes. Alternative: poultry button, 25 minutes.
Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the steam.
Carefully pull out the chicken (it will be falling apart).
If you want the skin crispy: Set oven to broil. Put chicken in an oven-safe dish and broil for 3-5 minutes or until the outside/skin is as brown/crispy as you’d like it. Alternatively, put into a large air fryer, spray the top with olive oil, set at 400°F for about 6 minutes or until as crispy as you want it.
