Ingredients
2
pounds
boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2
Tablespoons
BBQ seasoning
1
cup
chicken stock
1
cup
BBQ sauce
hamburger buns, for serving
pickles (for topping, optional)
optional side
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and then season them on both sides all over with the BBQ seasoning. Rub the seasoning into the chicken.
Pour the chicken stock into the Instant Pot and place the chicken thighs on top, making sure they are not touching the sides.
Drizzle the BBQ sauce over the top of the chicken, avoiding the sides of the Instant Pot (this helps to keep you from getting a burn notice.)
Seal the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Note: It can take up to 10 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure.
After the Instant Pot has finished cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes and then quick release the rest of the pressure.
Using tongs, remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and shred it using two forks.
To serve, place a generous amount of shredded chicken on a hamburger bun and top with more BBQ sauce and cole slaw (optional)
Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
If you don't want to use these for sandwiches, try eating with some rice, or served on a wrap or salad.
Use meat claws, two forks, or an electric mixer to shred the meat easily.
Store leftovers with extra sauce in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
