Sweet BBQ Pressure Cooker/ Grilled Chicken

Heather Campbell's Note:

This is a combination of two recipes that I have used. I have been obsessed with my pressure cooker lately and thought this would bring tenderness and juiciness to grilled BBQ chicken. It turned out awesome!

OMG! This was wonderful! I did not use beer, just added 12 oz more water and some fresh rosemary and sage to the broth. Followed the times with my electric Nesco pressure cooker and the grill. We used all drumsticks and they did not get crispy, but were so tender and not greasy at all. 5 lbs of legs disappeared in minutes! And I can't wait to make soup from the fragrant broth.

The Best BBC I have ever made. My husband went crazy for it!!! Thank you for this wonderful amazing dish!!! The ingrediants didn't sound like they would go together but they were fabulous!! The extra work is worth it. I used honey bbq sauce and added a little cayenne pepper. DELICIOUS!!!!!

Made this with thighs. Great way to start getting rid of a case of beer we were stuck with (we drink IPA's and other beers). I ground all the spices from whole in my mortar and pestle. I rubbed it into the chicken and placed all in the fridge for about an hour, or so. Placed the liquids into the pressure cooker and then placed a rack with the chicken above the liquids. (I was afraid the chicken and skin would be too hard to handle if cooked directly in the liquid. Instead of grilling I used my broiler. I made my own BBQ sauce instead of bottled from a recipe here on Recipezaar. This turned out great!
