Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Sliders Easy and Flavorful Meal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
- 12 to 15 slider rolls (small rolls)
- as needed coleslaw (for topping)
- optional sliced pickles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- In the Instant Pot, combine the chicken broth, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar, then stir to mix well.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs into the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce mixture.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to sealed, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then switch to quick release to let out any remaining steam.
- Open the lid and remove the chicken thighs. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then return it to the pot and stir to coat with the sauce.
- Slice the slider rolls in half. Spoon the BBQ chicken onto the bottom half of each roll and top with coleslaw. Place the top half of the roll on top.
- Arrange the sliders on a platter, garnish with sliced pickles if desired, and serve warm.
