This pressure cooker barbecue chicken dish is incredibly easy to make and very delicious. It's a childhood favorite of my partner's; his mom served it with rice and green beans for an easy weekday meal. Feel free to add other hot sauce or spices to jazz it up. Frank's RedHot sauce is a great addition.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 onion, minced

  • ½ cup chili sauce

  • ½ cup water

  • 2 tablespoons vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat pressure cooker over medium heat; cook chicken until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Combine onion, chili sauce, water, and vinegar in a bowl; pour over chicken.

  3. Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound, adjusting temperature until regulator is gently rocking; cook 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let pressure release naturally according to the manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.

Cook’s Note

Substitute any cut of chicken for chicken thighs, if desired. The amount of chicken can be increased to up to 3 pounds in this recipe.

Make sure to cook the chicken long enough, or the sauce will be too watery. Don't be tempted to stop the pressure cooker too early.
