Ingredients

Spices

½ tablespoon onion powder
½ tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Main

⅔ cup water
2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
2 skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 cup BBQ sauce (270 g)
1 tablespoon sriracha

Instructions

Prep The Chicken

Put chicken into a bowl together with the spices. Mix and coat the chicken well. Set aside.

Cooking With Instant Pot

Add water into the liner followed by the chicken. Then add in BBQ sauce and sriracha. DON'T STIR.
Place and lock in the lid. Make sure the steam release valve is at "sealing". Cook on High Pressure with 10 minutes cooking time. Once cooked, leave for Natural Release of 10 minutes. Slide the steam release to "venting", unlock and remove the lid.
Remove the chicken into a bowl. Shred using 2 forks. Add the sauce in according to your taste. Want it juicer, add more. Want it drier, add less. Mix everything well.

Notes

Cooking On Stove Top: put all ingredients in a pot, boil, and simmer (covered with a lid) until the chicken is super tender. You will need to add more water and adjust accordingly.
How To Serve: enjoy it in sandwiches, with rice, nachos, or lettuce wraps.
