Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken

Franks RedHot Sauce – This hot sauce is pure hot sauce and different from the Franks RedHot Wings Sauce, which uses butter flavoring.
Butter – Butter is what determines the heat. More butter = less heat. Less butter = more heat.
Worcestershire Sauce – The Worcestershire Sauce kicks up the flavor a notch. It works similarly to how a touch Fish Sauce gives food a deeper and richer flavor.
Brown Sugar or Surkin Brown Sugar Low Carb substitute – Adding a sweetener to hot sauce, brings out the flavors of the chilis a bit more. This is totally optional. It also helps the sauce cling to the chicken. I prefer not to use a sweetener, but my husband does like to use it, so as a compromise, I just add a tiny amount of the Surkin Brown Sugar Low Carb substitute to keep it low carb.
