Juicy and fall apart tender, this Instant Pot BBQ chicken is simple enough for a weeknight, and can be prepped ahead to save time! Serve it on a bun with slaw and plenty of tangy barbecue sauce.
When it comes to weeknight dinners, simple is best! And while I love this crockpot bbq chicken recipe, since it cooks for 3-4 hours, it's not a great option for those working outside of the home. Enter the Instant Pot, which can have it ready for your table in under 25 minutes!
With a ton of flavor from the tangy sauce, it's great served as a sandwich, in tacos, on pizza, or in meal prep bowls.
