To Cook Straight from Frozen:
Season Drumsticks: In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, onion salt, celery salt, and poultry seasoning. Sprinkle your preferred seasoning blend generously over the frozen drumsticks.
Add to Instant Pot: Add 1 1/2 cups water or or chicken stock to the Instant Pot. Place the seasoned frozen drumsticks into the Instant Pot, arranging them in a single layer as much as possible. Make sure they’re not stacked on top of each other to ensure even cooking.
Pressure Cook with Quick Release: Lock the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting and set the cooking time to 17-22 minutes at high pressure. (Chicken is done when it registers 165°F internally.) Then, carefully perform a quick pressure release by turning the valve to the venting position. Once the pressure has fully released and the float valve (or pin) drops, carefully open the Instant Pot lid.
To Cook From Fresh:
To Prep as a Freezer Meal for Later: Season the drumsticks. Place the seasoned chicken and 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth in a gallon-sized freezer bag or container. Seal and freeze in a round container, about the same diameter as the Instant Pot. (Try to not stack them on top of each other; spread out in on layer.) Once frozen, you can remove the round container.
Prepare From Frozen: Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté.” Cook the frozen meal for about 5 minutes to release the liquid. Press “Cancel.” Follow steps 3 through 5, but cook for 17 to 22 minutes.
