How long to cook from frozen chicken pieces?
Hi Lucy – Our cook from Frozen instructions allow you to cook the chicken pieces directly from frozen. The recipe calls for 5 minutes on saute, 15 minutes on manual and then do a natural pressure release for 5 minutes. I hope this helps! We have found the cook times from fresh vs. frozen are the same in the Instant Pot. ~OAMM
So you don’t sauté when making it now ?
The saute is to begin the cooking process and reduce the amount of time for the frozen meal to come to pressure. That’s why it is not required for fresh meals. Hope that helps!
I wasn’t happy with this entree. Mine did not come out as beautifully coated as the photo above. The flavor was not as tasty. Tolerable at most.
I used chicken breasts because that’s all I had available. So I only had to cook the breasts for 8mins. I did quick release and maybe that’s why the coating seemed caked on. It also wasn’t red. It was more of a brown coating. Not burnt, but not like glaze either.
Could it be the type of honey I used or paprika? I used manuka honey. Should I have used smoked paprika?
There are many variables that come into play with why a recipe looks different for each person. You’ve probably noticed this as restaurants too – the pictures on the menu don’t look exactly like what you receive. The reason for this is the art of photography and really working/ playing around to achieve a desirable look. This recipe also has a grilling version found here and perhaps this is the color difference you are seeing in the picture. Manuka honey typically is a bit darker so that also could play a role. Regular paprika is what was used so you were correct in that. All that said – it sounds like you didn’t care for the flavor – so maybe this isn’t the best recipe for you? Everyone’s tastes are different but we’ve got thousands of other recipes to try!
