With just two ingredients, you can cook up deliciously moist and tender Instant Pot BBQ Chicken to use over noodles or rice or in sandwiches.
– Chicken: I like to make this recipe with boneless chicken thighs. – BBQ Sauce: You can use any variety of barbecue sauce here that your family likes.
Place a metal or silicone rack into the Instant Pot. Add ½ cup water. Place chicken on top of the rack, breaking up frozen pieces if needed. Top with BBQ sauce.
Cover and seal. Cook on high for 8 minutes for raw chicken and 10 minutes for frozen chicken. Manually release the pressure when the cooking time is done and the Instant Pot beeps.
Use kitchen shears, or two forks, to easily shred or cut up the cooked barbecue chicken.
Use a slotted spoon to serve the chicken with rolls for simple sandwiches, or with buttered noodles or a grain.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or place into a freezer bag and seal. Freeze for up to 6 months.
