Instant Pot® Crispy Chicken Carnitas

Wow! I wasn't sure what I was in for, but what a wonderful surprise! My kiddos loved it too. The only change I made was prior to broiling the chicken, I added quite a bit of the cooking liquid to the mix. I worried that the white meat would get dry. With what I did it came out perfectly. As far as the sauce, it was fantastic. After the first round in the blender, I tasted and added another chile and more adobo sauce. This will become a regular menu item for me.

My first time making this in an instapot. Tastes delicious, but a dutch oven would have been faster.

This was really good! I wasn't sure about the baking after cooking. I don't think it's necessary unless you want the "crispy" part. I did want to try it crispy and am happy I made the extra effort! I did not use the chipotle sauce in the recipe though, I don't like mayo. I found a substitute online and it worked out perfectly.

This was the best chicken I've made for tacos. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and would make excellent tacos even if you didn't broil it. The chipotle sauce was fantastic. I did substitute plain Greek yogurt for the mayo. My son has asked that we make some the next time we have french fries.

I used chicken thighs and skipped the cilantro (Yuck!). I used low fat Mayo for the sauce, and I skipped the whole broiler exercise because it seemed to be a lot of work. These carnitas were delicious. The sauce was wonderful. I served these with flour tortillas and cabbage that I sauteed in a little lemon olive oil. Great meal. Thanks a lot for the recipe! It's my go-to now.

This was a HUGE hit with the whole family. Will definitely make again. Good savory flavor that complemented the spice.

Made in an IP Duo+Crisp, so I used the air fryer broiler button instead of broiling in the oven. My husband and son *loved* it (I'm veg). Next time I would pour off the broth and drizzle a little over instead of just returning shredded chicken to the pot to increase crispiness. I made spanish rice from a box (gasp!) in the bake pan on the tall trivet while pressure cooking the chicken (8 mins) and it turned out perfect.

I made this with the suggested chicken thighs and my family loved it. There were parts of the recipet hat were lost a bit in translation but after reviewing the original personal recipe we got it made.
