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

Method
 

  1. Turn on the Instant Pot. Hit manual pressure cook for 20 minutes for thawed chicken. (if the chicken is frozen go for 25 minutes)
  2. Add in the chicken thighs, bbq sauce, orange juice, lemon pepper seasoning, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Give it a stir.
  3. Close the lid and put the valve on sealing position.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Assemble the slider with the chicken, coleslaw and pickles. Enjoy!
