    These Instant Pot Barbeque Chicken Thighs start in the instant pot and finish up under the broiler. They come out juicy and fabulous

    Making Instant Pot Barbeque Chicken Thighs is a 35 minute or less dinner that you can throw together. They are great on weeknights when you have worked all-day or just don't feel like taking a long time fixing dinner.

    Barbeque Chicken Thighs

    Our house is definitely a mostly chicken home. Leading me to share mostly chicken recipes CrockPot Creamy Mushroom Chicken Buffalo Chicken Tenders.  I love a good steak but the hubby rarely veers far from chicken.  We always ate mostly boneless skinless breasts because we thought that was the healthiest. It seemed no matter how  I prepared the breasts they always seemed to get dried out. 

    Barbeque Thighs

    Well, we recently started buying bone-in skin-on thighs and wow! Thighs have so much more flavor.  Putting them in the instant pot makes them even moister. That's what I really love about the instant pot, everything comes out so moist and delicious. Even those breasts that were so dried out, come out of the instant pot so much moister.  If looking for instant pot meals I also have my Tender Barbecue Pork Ribs Instant Pot /Grill recipe.  I will be adding more in the future but in the meantime, head over to https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/recipes-you-can-make-in-your-instant-pot/ they have some great quick meals for the pressure cooker /instant pot.
