How do I add recipes and ingredients to my Tasty Grocery Bag?

Tap the “Add Items to Grocery Bag” button on the recipe page.

If you have not yet shared your location, we’ll ask you to do so and ask you to select your preferred store location.

We’ll then match the ingredients in the recipe to available products in store and show them in your Tasty Grocery Bag!

How does the Tasty Grocery Bag work in the Tasty app?

When you add items to your Tasty Grocery Bag, we’ll only add the amount you need to make the recipe.

If you are shopping ingredients from multiple recipes, any items that are needed for multiple recipes will be grouped under a section labeled “Shared Ingredients”.

What is the section labeled “Pantry Ingredients” in my Tasty Grocery Bag?

Pantry Ingredients are pantry staples like salt and pepper – items we think you might already have at home. These items will be listed in your Tasty Grocery Bag in the app if they’re needed for a recipe, but are automatically not added to your order. If you’d like to purchase them, simply tap the blue “+” button for that item, and that item will be added to your Tasty Grocery Bag.

What if I want to select a different brand for a product in the Tasty Grocery Bag?

Tap the “Swap” button under any item in your Tasty Grocery Bag in the app. From there, you’ll be able to switch to a different brand of the same product. For example, if a recipe calls for rice, and you want a different brand of rice, you can make that substitution directly in the Tasty Grocery bag. However, if a recipe calls for rice, and you want to use potatoes instead, you won’t be able to make that substitution within the Tasty Grocery Bag.

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme, chives, ¼ cup (60 ML) oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir into a paste. Set aside.
  2. Generously season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Then, using your fingers, gently release the skin over the chicken breast so that your fingers can slide between the skin and the breast meat. Spread half of the herb paste evenly between both breasts, then massage the skin with your fingers to push the herb paste to the places it didn’t reach. Reserve the remaining herb paste for later. Place 1 quartered lemon inside the cavity, then tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Tuck the wings under the chicken.
  3. To a 6-quart Instant-Pot, add the onion, remaining 2 lemons, and the garlic. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on top, then pour in the chicken stock and sherry. Brush the remaining herb paste over the chicken. Cover with the Instant Pot lid, making sure the release valve is set to “sealing.” Set the Instant Pot to high pressure cook for 25 minutes.

  5. Release the pressure from the Instant Pot by switching the vent from “sealing” to “venting,” making sure your hand is not over the top of the release switch, as the hot steam will come out of the top. Wait for the pressure to release and the Instant Pot to unlock before taking off the lid.
  6. Transfer the chicken from the Instant Pot onto a baking sheet. If you would like crispier skin, set the broiler to high. Roast the chicken under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin crisps and becomes a deep golden brown.
  7. While the chicken skin crisps, turn the Instant Pot to high sauté mode. Bring the liquid in the pot to a boil and reduce by half, 5-6 minutes.

  9. Add the cornstarch to the water and whisk together until smooth. When the sauce is reduced, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue to boil the gravy for another 2 minutes, or until the gravy is thick and coats the back of a spoon.
  10. Strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve.
  11. Cut the chicken off the bone, place on a platter, and garnish with chives. Serve with the gravy.
  12. Enjoy!
