Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon Butter
- 1 cup Hot Sauce Frank's is classic
- 1 lb Chicken Breast Boneless, Skinless
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to "saute". Add the butter to the Instant Pot and allow it to melt.
- Once the butter is melted, hit cancel on "saute" mode and place chicken breasts in the bottom of the pot.
- Top the chicken with the hot sauce.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the cooking time to 22 minutes on high pressure. Make sure the knob is set to the sealing position on the lid of the Instant Pot.
- After the cooking is complete, carefully quick release the remaining pressure.
- Open the Instant Pot and shred the chicken to your liking. Place the shredded chicken back in the sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you have a favorite buffalo wing sauce, feel free to use that. Simply add the sauce and the chicken to the Instant Pot. You can skip the butter because there is butter already in most buffalo sauces.
- I have found the easiest way to shred the cooked chicken is to transfer the chicken into a stand mixer and turn the mixer on medium speed. In a matter of minutes, you will have perfectly shredded chicken!
- If you don't have a stand mixer, use a hand mixer! Unplug the Instant Pot and use a hand mixer to shred the chicken.
