Pat the chicken dry. Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, then rub the chicken with oil and the spice mix.
Pour the broth into the Instant Pot and set the trivet inside. Tuck the lemon halves into the cavity and set the chicken on the trivet breast side up.
Cook on HIGH pressure for 24 minutes (6 minutes per pound), then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
Check that the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F. For crispier skin, move the chicken to a sheet pan and broil 4-5 minutes.
Rest 5 minutes, then carve. Save the broth in the pot for gravy or rice.
