Season both sides of the chicken with the signature house seasoning blend.

Add the steamer rack to the Instant Pot.

Pour in 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup of water into the Instant Pot and stir.

Place the seasoned chicken on top of the steamer rack in a single layer without overlapping.

Put the lid on the pressure cooker and set the vent to sealing.

Set the Instant Pot to manual for 13 minutes.

After cooking, release the steam using a towel to avoid burns and remove the lid.

Check the chicken's temperature to ensure it is at least 165 degrees.

Remove the chicken to a plate and drain the pot.

Remove the steamer rack and return the chicken to the pot.

Add another 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce to the chicken in the pot.

Turn the pressure cooker off and switch it to the sauté setting.

Cook for a few minutes, moving the chicken around to coat it with the barbecue sauce.
