How to Make Electric Pressure Cooker Shredded Chicken in a Ninja Foodi

Cris here. I love to make ahead chicken for easy sandwiches, salads, soups and casseroles. Most of the time I make our Crock Pot Butter Chicken or our Electric Pressure Cooker Chicken. Both of those recipes use boneless skinless chicken (we prefer thighs).

However, lately it has been difficult to always find boneless skinless chicken. So I decided to try this recipe with bone-in chicken and do a little something special with the leftover skin… make delicious crispy Chicken Cracklins using the air crisp basket in my Ninja Foodi! I also kept the delicious leftover broth as a broth base to use in soups and pasta dishes. This is the recipe that just keeps giving!

Ninja Foodi Make Ahead Chicken Notes

  • If you are looking for a recipe that uses boneless skinless chicken, check out our Electric Pressure Cooker Chicken or our Crock Pot Butter Chicken.
  • In this recipe, we use bone-in thighs because we enjoy dark meat. You can try this recipe with other cuts of chicken, you may just need to adjust cooking times.
  • We cook this chicken under high pressure for 30 minutes because we want fall off the bone chicken that is super easy to shred. If you want your chicken to be less tender, reduce cooking times to 25 minutes.

General Notes

  • We’ve tested this recipe in a 6 quart Instant Pot and 6.5 quart Ninja Foodi. When pressure cooking with larger pressure cookers, you may need to add 1/2 cup to 1 cup more liquid to reach pressure. Make sure not to overfill smaller pressure cookers past their max lines.
  • 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. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.
