Cooking frozen chicken in a pressure cooker can be a convenient and time-saving method. The cooking time will depend on the size and type of frozen chicken pieces you are using, as well as the specific pressure cooker you have. As a general guideline, you can use the following cooking times for frozen chicken in a pressure cooker:
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: Approximately 10-15 minutes on high pressure.
Bone-in Chicken Pieces (e.g., drumsticks, thighs): Around 15-20 minutes on high pressure.
It's important to note that pressure cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces. Thicker pieces may require more time to cook properly. Also, keep in mind that the pressure cooker will take some time to come up to pressure before the actual cooking time begins.
Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for using your specific pressure cooker model and refer to any provided recipes or cooking charts for frozen meats. Additionally, ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before consuming to avoid any foodborne illnesses. Using a meat thermometer is a reliable way to check the internal temperature.
