Personal Notes:
Our Instant Pot barbecue chicken legs start with a good barbecue rub. This rub is simple to make is provides a nice, deep barbecue flavor in the pressure cooker. You probably have all the spices and ingredients for the rub in your kitchen already. The primary ingredient is brown sugar. For 6-8 chicken legs we use a half cup of brown sugar. We fill out the flavors with paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and black pepper. All the ingredients can be placed in a large ziploc bag and mixed together. Then we drop the chicken legs into the bad and shake it all around to coat all the legs with the rub.
We like to serve with steamed vegetables. (Broccoli and asparagus)
