Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken

Based on my very popular Better than Hot Wings Cafe Air Fryer Hot Buffalo Chicken Wings recipe, this is an easy dump everything into the Instant Pot, Mealty MultiPot or Pressure Cooker and set the time!

With only a few ingredients, this Shredded Chicken recipe will be your new best friend.

It can be made mild to spicy; you choose.

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.

All Ingredients go into the Pressure Cooker
