Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Heat pressure cooker over medium heat. Brown chicken thighs on all sides until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. (5-7 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced onion, chili sauce, water, and vinegar. Pour this mixture evenly over the browned chicken in the pressure cooker. (2 minutes)

03

Step
20 mins

Secure the pressure cooker lid according to the manufacturer's instructions. Bring to high pressure. Once at high pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook for 15 minutes. (20 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally for 5-10 minutes. Once the pressure is fully released, carefully open the lid. (5-10 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Shred the chicken with two forks, if desired, and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the chili sauce mixture.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and simmer the sauce on saute mode until it reaches your desired consistency. Be sure to watch the sauce closely to prevent burning.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, cornbread, or your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and it still turned out great! Thanks for the recipe.

    I didn't have chili sauce, so I used ketchup with a pinch of chili powder. It worked perfectly!

    I added a bit of brown sugar and some liquid smoke – it was amazing!
