Making The chicken
I’m sharing how I make shredded chicken in my Instant Pot, but you could also use leftovers from your own homemade roasted chicken, or even a grocery store rotisserie. And if you don’t eat meat, just leave it off. You’re still going to LOVE these buffalo fries!
Place chicken in the Instant Pot insert and add 3 cups of chicken broth or water.
Lock the lid into place and set the steam release handle (valve on top) to “Sealing”. Press Poultry>High Pressure>12 minutes.
Allow for a 10-minute natural release and then perform a quick release. Remove the chicken transfer it to a bowl and shred with two forks.
