Made with chicken breasts or thighs, this easy and low carb BBQ shredded chicken is flavored with a homemade no sugar BBQ sauce that you'll want to slather on everything!
To make the BBQ sauce, pace all of the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk well to incorporate. Place 1/2 of the sauce in a container and refrigerate, you’ll it use after the chicken is cooked.
Pour the other half of the sauce into the instant pot. Add the chicken thighs in on top of the sauce.
Press the “manual” button (or “pressure cook” button) and set the time to cook for 20 minutes at high pressure. Once the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes and then release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid and shred the chicken in the Instant Pot with two forks, mixing it with the juices.
Serve topped with additional BBQ sauce as desired.
For the slow cooker:
Follow steps 1 & 2 above.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the chicken.
Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
