1 Insert trivet into Instant Pot®. Add chicken broth. Arrange chicken standing up, meaty-side down, on the trivet. Lock lid.
2 Press the Poultry button and cook for the default time of 15 minutes. When timer beeps, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Quick-release any additional pressure until float valve drops and then unlock lid. Check the chicken using a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is at least 165°F.
3 Remove chicken from pot. In a large bowl, gently toss chicken legs in the barbecue sauce and serve.
INSTANT POT® OPTIONS
If you like your chicken a little crispy, place cooked chicken on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and broil for approximately 2 minutes per side.
