Recently when I shared ourย Crock Pot BBQ Cola Chicken (Low Carb)ย with that low carb bbq cola sauceย  we have been obsessed with ever since we adapted from one of our favorite low carb cookbooks:ย 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 thisย 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.
