Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Directions

Instructions:

​​

  • Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

  • In the Instant Pot, set it to "Sauté" mode.

  • Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the Instant Pot and brown each side for about 3 minutes.

  • Turn off the "Sauté" mode. Add melted butter, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the Instant Pot with the chicken. Stir to create the buffalo sauce.

  • Add the ranch dressing to the Instant Pot, coating the chicken with the buffalo and ranch sauce.

  • Close the Instant Pot lid, set the vent to "Sealing," and cook on "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" mode for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken thighs.

  • Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick release of pressure.

  • Carefully open the lid and sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken.

  • Optionally, broil the chicken in the Instant Pot for a few minutes until the cheese is golden brown. Alternatively, transfer the chicken to a casserole dish and broil in the oven for 3 to 6 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
