  • Pour in the BBQ sauce and chicken broth.
  • Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Close the lid and set the valve to sealing.
  • Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
  • Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce for a few hours before cooking. You can add more spices according to your taste. For thicker sauce, sauté the sauce in the Instant Pot after removing the chicken.
