How to make BBQ chicken in the Instant Pot

We kept this recipe as simple as possible with only 10 ingredients and a BBQ sauce that you simply whisk together in a bowl or jar. Here’s what you’ll do:

Mix up the simple no sugar BBQ sauceDump the chicken and 1/2 of the sauce in the Instant PotSit back and relax while the Instant Pot does all the work 🙂Shred the chicken and serve it with more of the savory BBQ sauce

BBQ chicken breasts or thighs in the Instant Pot

We love this recipe because you can use either chicken breast or thighs! We personally prefer using thighs because they have a little more fat and flavor but it’s totally up to you. Either way you’ll end up with juicy, shreddable chicken smothered in delicious BBQ sauce.

An easy low-carb BBQ sauce

We love making our own sauces at home with simple, everyday ingredients. You’ll love the savory and tangy homemade BBQ sauce in this recipe. With beef broth and tomato paste as a base, it’s flavored with just a little vinegar and some simple seasonings. Of course, if you aren’t eating low-carb you could always add a little sugar or maple syrup to sweeten it up.
