There are lots of simple ways to modify the flavors of this Instant Pot whole-roasted chicken recipe. Switching up the fresh and dried herbs is an easy way to take the flavors in a whole other direction. Adding dried herbs like rosemary, sage, or marjoram to the broth would pair well with the chicken. You could also add extra aromatics to the pot, such as chopped onions, celery, carrots, or fennel to infuse more flavor. Another variation comes from using different spice blends. Try cajun seasoning, jerk seasoning, or ranch seasoning in place of just salt and pepper to liven things up. For bolder flavor, try adding citrus peel — lemon, lime, or orange — to the cooking liquid. Wine can also add a depth of flavor to the cooking liquid. If you want to give the chicken skin more color and crispness without broiling, a spiced butter or herb-infused oil brushed on at the end would work nicely. To make the recipe more Mediterranean, add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichoke hearts to the cooking liquid. The possibilities are endless for customizing the flavors to suit your taste or complement the rest of your meal.
