Instant Pot BBQ Chicken makes two pounds of shredded BBQ chicken in just 9 minutes! Perfect for making sandwiches, nachos, quesadillas, salads and more!
Add chicken thigh fillets, sweet onion, light brown sugar, paprika, cumin, Kosher salt, ground pepper and garlic powder to the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Stir to coat fully.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, worcestershire sauce and water. Pour over chicken.
Set on manual pressure high for 8 minutes. It will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure.
Allow for 5 minutes natural pressure release. Release remaining pressure quickly. Remove chicken using a slotted spoon, then shred with two forks.
Discard all but 1/4 cup liquid from Instant Pot. Toss shredded chicken, favorite BBQ sauce and reserved liquid.
