Thanks, Crystal. Had my instant pot sitting around and some costco chicken thighs in the freezer. Your method worked like a charm. Pulled the thighs apart with forks, and doused it with some BBQ sauce. 🔥🔥🔥

I'm so glad to see someone actually use more liquid like this! I tried doing chicken breasts both fresh and frozen and tried everything from 8mins-25 mins, both natural and quick releases and my chicken was ALWAYS dry and neve shredded nicely. One time I made soup (so obviously a lot more liquid) and my chicken was finally perfect so now I always use well over the minimum liquid amount for shredding too.

@iamcrystalalexander 3 жыл бұрын

yes! And now I just use water, cover the chicken, and it turns out perfect!

@@ChunkHumunk Yes. You're wasting chicken broth. Once the chicken is cooked, you can then shred it and put into different recipes.

@paigelavelle3623 3 жыл бұрын

@Oatmeal I usually do 12-15 mins for fresh (depending on the size of the breasts) and about 22-25 for frozen. I usually trim my chicken breasts before I freeze them so I don't know about the fat. But another option is to thaw to crystallized, trim and then cook somewhere in the middle. maybe 18-20 mins?

@paigelavelle3623 3 жыл бұрын

@Oatmeal Was the chicken completely covered in broth? Were all the breasts separated or were they still clumped together a bit? Were they still solid frozen or more crystallized? What size IP do you have? I have a 6qt and I don't think 10lbs would fit in mine. If you have an 8qt cooking times can be a bit different.

You can always use water, or any other broth like veggie or beef and so on. When there's broth it just helps to not only moisten but give it some flavor :)

Did you use the trivet on the bottom of the pot? And why or or not. Why are no cooking channels adding this part? That seems like something to share with new people to the instapot.

@hautemama85 3 жыл бұрын

I believe she didn’t because her intention was to have the chicken fully submerged in liquid, while the trivet is meant to elevate foods above the liquid.

Little tip: turn those square bottles sideways when you poor. It's more controllable. It works with any container that is wider on one side especially oil jugs.

What is "enough liquid to get this started" mean? Why did you release at 12 minutes when you said 16 minutes? Talk down to me over here. I cannot cook but am trying. Did you use the rack?

@heavywithgodsfavor333 2 жыл бұрын

L0:12 means after the 16 minutes.. basically an extra 12 minutes but it means the pressure is being released on its own without putting it to venting

It keeps the chicken covered which keeps it from drying out :)

@ph11p3540 3 жыл бұрын

It's great if you are making a poached chicken. If you plan on saute the chicken after cooking use 1 cup of water. This prevents excess water from leaching out of the chicken as you try to add a crispy golden brown carmalized coating as part of a stir fry. Simply drain any bottom water out of the still hot liner, press saute, and throw in some cooking oil
