Have a lot to feed? This is an easy and low-cost dinner. The chicken is cooked well through, falls off the bone, is infused with flavors, and very juicy because of the pressure cooking but has that crispy BBQ carmelized skin from the grilling. I cook this with a Ninja Foodi and a gas grill, but any 8qt or bigger pressure cooker will work. The 6.5qt version is too small and will not fit all 10lbs of chicken. You'd need to use less chicken or cook in batches if you have less than an 8qt cooker. Additionally, you can brown the skins at the end in batches using the air crisp on the Foodi, but I find the grill to be a faster all-in-one method and better tasting.

I usually serve this with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and baked beans as sides.

Steps

40 mins

1

Take the bag of chicken out of the fridge. Cut just one corner and carefully drain the juices out into a sink for about 30 seconds until you feel like you got most of it. Mix up your seasonings together, and pour them into the bag of chicken. I glove my hand and reach in and massage the seasoning evenly. Set aside for 20 minutes. (This is the simplest fastest way, but you can separate the chicken into multiple Ziploc bags and season each bag and shake if touching the chicken grosses you out.)
2

Add chicken broth to the nanoceramic liner of Foodi. Add entire bag of seasoned chicken to Foodi, making sure it's arranged so that you'll be able to close the lid.
3

Put the pressure cooker lid on, lock it, set it to seal position, and set pressure cooker on hi for 20 minutes.
4

Turn the grill on high to preheat. Set your BBQ sauce, tongs, and a basting brush nearby.
5

Quick release Foodi when timer goes off and set lid aside. Carefully dump pot contents into a colander in the sink.
6

Once the chicken is drained well, place colander over a plate and carry out to grill. Turn heat down to medium.
7

Put chicken on grill and baste with BBQ sauce. Turn every 2-3 minutes, basting with BBQ sauce each time, until both sides are desired crispness and charring.
8

Remove and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

I have a huge family that includes teenage boys, so my recipes often are "fit for an army." I mostly cook using whole foods and enjoy teaching my kids how to cook and bake from scratch.
