Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Sliders
We are deep in the middle of college football season and it is such a fun time to be in Nebraska. Even though this is a rebuilding year for the Huskers, Nebraska has so much pride in Husker football. I have been learning a ton about the sport and am having so much fun watching the games and cheering on the Huskers. One of the things that makes football games so fun is all the good food. I love having some yummy snacks to munch on while we watch the game. These BBQ chicken sliders are a true fan favorite. They're so easy to make thanks to my handy dandy Instant Pot. You just set it and forget it and have a delicious meal in no time. We picked up all the slider ingredients at Family Fare. Everything tastes better when it's on a pretzel bun, and a tangy slaw adds a fun kick to the BBQ chicken.
