Ingredients
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce*
¼ teaspoon yellow mustard powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¾ cup finely minced onion
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs and breasts
Directions
Combine the barbecue sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worchestershire sauce, yellow mustard powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced onion in the pot of your pressure cooker or Instant Pot. Gently stir together until combined.
Gently nestle the chicken breasts and/or thighs into the barbecue sauce mixture, being careful not to touch the meat to the bottom of the pan.
Lock in the pressure cooker lid and cook on high for 15 minutes. Quick-release the steam out of the pressure cooker.
Very carefully move the chicken to a heat-safe bowl and shred with 2 forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce in the Instant Pot and toss until covered.
Keep the shredded chicken in the pressure cooker on warm for up to 2 hours or serve immediately!
