Vietnamese Sweet Curry Roast Chicken

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season the inner cavity of the chicken with 1 tsp. of seasoning. Add thyme, two onion quarters, and half of the garlic cloves to the cavity, then tightly tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Set Instant Pot to Saute and add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. While pot heats up, rub the chicken with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and 1 Tbsp. seasoning.

Gently place chicken into hot oil, breast-side down, and brown for 3 to 5 min. Turn chicken and brown other side for another 3 to 5 min. Remove chicken and set aside. Add remaining onion quarters, garlic, and broth to the pot. If you have the trivet accessory, add it to the pot as well. Set chicken back in the Instant Pot, sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. seasoning, and seal the lid. Pressure cook for 25 min., then let pressure release naturally (turn off heat and let pot cool for about 15 to 20 min., or until lid releases pressure automatically).

Remove chicken and set aside to rest. Turn Instant Pot back on to Saute and boil liquid, uncovered, for 10 to 15 min. to reduce. Carve chicken and serve with reduced liquid as an au jus.
