Recently when I shared our Crock Pot BBQ Cola Chicken (Low Carb) with that low carb bbq cola sauce we have been obsessed with ever since we adapted from one of our favorite low carb cookbooks: Bacon and Butter. A Crock Posse member asked us to convert it to an instant pot or electric pressure cooker recipe and so we got right back in the kitchen and whipped up this Electric Pressure Cooker Cola BBQ Chicken Recipe… ya know, taking one for the team ;). So whatever electric pressure cooker you have, be it an Instant Pot or Crock-Pot Express or other brand, this one is for you.

How to make Cola BBQ Chicken in an Instant Pot, Crock Pot Express or other electric pressure cooker
Place your chicken in a 6 quart electric pressure cooker, season with salt and top with butter. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over the top. Cook under high pressure for 10 minutes and let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes before flipping to quick release. Remove chicken to shred. Meanwhile if thicker sauce is desired, turn unit on saute feature and reduce sauce by simmering and stirring occasionally until it thickens. Return shredded chicken to sauce and enjoy!

I used a can of Diet Pepsi. I didn’t have paprika or cumin so I substituted a tablespoon of kicked up chicken seasoning and a teaspoon of Cajun trinity. I substituted sriracha mustard and did not add any water. To thicken I added wondra flour. You can add with a little water or take some sauce out to cool. If you put in hot liquid it will clump. It was delicious, loved the recipe.
Sounds yummy Donna!
