I love a good rotisserie chicken. I mean, I really love a good rotisserie chicken.

It’s so versatile, and has so many uses. It’s great on its own with a few roasted veggies and it’s great with pastas and soups as a fill in. But more importantly, they are so perfect with nachos and quesadillas during the wee hours of the night.

Or wait. Am I the only one making leftover rotisserie chicken nachos at 10PM?

I hope not.

But nonetheless, I am now sharing an effortless Instant Pot rotisserie chicken recipe! It’s made in the IP completely from start to finish – with a quick sear on both sides for that beautiful golden brown color before it sits in that IP for 28 minutes. Boom. Done.

Just let it release naturally as you prep your sides for dinner.

Oh and when I say dinner, I really mean nachos.
