Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast defrosted, cut into strips (I've also used frozen chicken breasts, please see below)
- 2 tbsp butter

- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce not buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce save for after chicken has been cooked
Instructions
- Slice your chicken into bite-size strips. 2 lbs chicken breast
- Set your Instant Pot to sauté and melt your butter. Once melted, add your chicken and seasoning. Then, stir in ½ cup of Franks Hot Sauce and stir well. 2 tbsp butter, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce
- Close and lock the lid and set your pot to Pressure Cook on high pressure. Set the cooking time for 8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot. You can drizzle the remaining hot sauce on it and eat it now, or broil on a baking sheet. 1/4 cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce
- Optional: Using tongs, remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush the chicken with the additional 1/4 cup hot sauce. Brown the chicken and thicken the sauce by placing under the broiler for 3 minutes. Turn the chicken over and repeat on the other side. Let the chicken cool 5 minutes before serving.
