In reply to Sigrid. Hi Sigrid - we usually buy the Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ sauce.

I know we can use any BBQ sauce but I’d be interested in knowing which one or ones you use. Thanks.

In reply to Carolann Forney. Hi Carolann - you want to avoid overcooking chicken breasts, especially since you'll be cooking them again with the BBQ sauce. If you wanted to use a NPR, you could shorten the cook time. Thighs like legs are dark meat and more forgiving, so you could add a NPR to the thighs cook time but cooking them too long may make it difficult to grill them without them falling apart. Of course, the size of the thighs and breasts makes a big difference in cook time. You may want to make a note of what time works best for you. Enjoy!

I noticed on your versions using thighs or breasts there is no NPR time. Is it correct that’s it’s just QR after the timer is up?

Just made these for tonight, cooking the chicken legs in the Instant Pot ahead of time worked great! Delicious, finger-licking good from the bbq! So glad to know to do this for this summer. Thank you so much.

How do you keep the legs with skin on from sticking to the bbq? It wasn’t too bad but just curious if there is a hint for that.

If I want to make thighs & legs together, I’m thinking I could give the thighs a headstart in the microwave. How long do you think or should I just chuck everything in the IP & cook for 9 minutes? TIA!

In reply to Sharron Wilson. Hi Sharron - you'll use the same amount of water and the same cook time when using only half the legs. Enjoy!

If I wanted to use half the chicken legs, do I need to decrease the amount of water?
