Ingredients
  

BBQ CHICKEN (For the Instant Pot)

  • 6-8 Chicken thighs (or 3-4 chicken breasts)
  • 1 cup Spicy bbq sauce (if you don't have spicy, you can use regular and add 1 tsp red pepper flakes.
  • 1/3 cup Orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon pepper seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Slider buns (as many as you need)
  • Pickles (optional)

COLE SLAW

  • 1 bag Coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/2 cup Mayo
  • Juice of one large lemon
  • 2 Tbsp Vinegar (any kind, I used apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 Tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the Instant Pot. Hit manual pressure cook for 20 minutes for thawed chicken. (if the chicken is frozen go for 25 minutes)
  • Add in the chicken thighs, bbq sauce, orange juice, lemon pepper seasoning, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Give it a stir.
  • Close the lid and put the valve on sealing position.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the coleslaw. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayo, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the bag of cabbage and carrots and mix well.
  • Once the timer goes of on the Instant Pot, quick release the valve to let out steam. Open the lid and remove the chicken to a cutting board. Shred it up and put back into the sauce.
  • Assemble the slider with the chicken, coleslaw and pickles. Enjoy!
