How to Make Bourbon Chicken in an Instant Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Our Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken recipe is a family favorite (and friend favorite!) around our house. It always seems to be gone too fast! I couldn’t wait to try this recipe out in my Instant Pot. One of our favorite recipes, only faster! Yes, please! I bet if you give this recipe a try, it will be an instant favorite for you as well. Now, the step at the end to thicken the sauce does take a little bit of effort (you know I like easy recipes!), but it is totally worth it! Trust me!
Instant Pot Bourbon Chicken Notes:
- This recipe can be made in any 6 quart electric pressure cooker including: Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi and Crock Pot Express.
- If you use an 8-quart electric pressure cooker, you may want to use an extra 1/2 cup of broth to help bring it up to pressure.
- You can find more electric pressure cooker recipes here: Electric Pressure Cooker Recipes
- Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
- Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Always test recipes first in your own electric pressure cooker and adjust time as needed.

Absolutely delicious! My daughter (9 YO) is very picky, so finding things she’ll eat is always difficult. She always gets bourbon chicken when we have Chinese,, but I never thought to make it at home. Found this recipe a couple of weeks ago and just made it tonight. It’s a hit! We made it with the broth, not bourbon. Now I just wish I had made more, for more leftovers!
I’m so glad this was a hit in your house! I always feel the same way afterwards…we love the leftovers.
Omg this was SO YUMMY!!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear it! It is one of our family favorites!
