Ingredients 

  • 3-4 pounds chicken

Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

Other:

  • 1 large lemon
  • 1 cup chicken broth, or water

Instructions

  • As usual, clean and prepare the chicken (remove the extra parts from inside the chicken and wash with water, salt and pepper).
  • Put the chicken inside the Instant Pot (I added the lemon and onion into the cavity, for extra flavor)
  • In a small bowl mix together the sauce ingredients.
  • Turn on your Instant Pot to preheat on the sauté setting
  • Coat the chicken with the half of the sauce.
  • Place the chicken breast side down, in the instant pot.
  • Then coat the bottom side of the chicken with the other 1/2 of the sauce.
  • The chicken should saute for about 5 minutes, until the breast side is nice and browned.
  • Then turn the chicken over, let brown for about 2 to 3 minutes
  • Return the breast side up, and remain there. Add your chicken broth
  • Set the timer (manual) for 25 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally
  • Remove the lid and let rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
