even if that is true it's still dumb to not just cook the whole thing and keep leftovers to reheat later than having to cook raw chicken multiple times.

No that makes no sense to me
The carcass is for chicken stock for future soup bases, esp with wing tips and you can freeze drumettes and wings for future appys
i do not see the points of cooking a whole chicken whatsoever it doesn't respect the bird
>>21578281 >respect the bird
I've cooked more whole birds in a pressure cooker than you can imagine and never once has respect been a concern. And it helps speed up the time to get a bit of stock since I can toss the carcass back in the liquid and boil it off.

Buy smaller chickens your retard. Also cook them better.
Now that I think about it you're only actual experience with chicken is those shitty rotisserie chickens at grocery stores. Of course they're going to be dry.
Mince or crush garlic, a whole head. Rub the garlic and unsalted butter underneath the chicken's skin. Rub salted butter all over the chicken's outter skin. Lightly grind black pepper over chicken. Sprinkle dried thyme and oregano over chicken. Brown under oven broiler. Insert whole chicken into Instant Pot. Add one cup chicken stock and white wine. Pressure cook on high 35 minutes. Allow natural release and plate for carving. Easy and delicious.
