Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Legs

Step 1

Mix the spices and salt and pepper in a small bowl.  Place the drumsticks in a large bowl and rub with the spice mixture.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of water and the trivet to the inner pot of the instant pot.  Place the chicken legs on the trivet.  Pour 1 cup of bbq sauce on the legs and spread with a basting brush.

Step 3

Lock the lid of the Instant pot and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, followed by a 10 minute natural pressure release.  Release the rest of the pressure manually, then when the pin drops, remove the lid.

Step 4

Pre-heat the broiler of your oven.  Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.  Carefully place the chicken legs on the foil in a single layer.  Use a basting brush to brush the remaining BBQ sauce on the chicken legs.

Step 5

Place the chicken legs in the oven under the broiler and broil until the sauce starts to bubble and caramelize.  About 5 minutes.  Serve
