Preparation
- Add a tiny splash of oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot (if using).
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Layer in the chicken and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cooking
- Seal the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to seal.
- Pressure cook on high for 12 minutes.

Notes
For maximum flavor, make sure to include some liquid at the bottom. Taste and add more BBQ sauce if desired. This recipe is versatile, allowing for variations such as adding chipotle or apple cider vinegar for extra flavor.
