Description

Old Lady on a Bus Chicken is chicken tenderloins that can be made in your Instant Pot, Crockpot or oven. The secret is the barbecue sauce that has a special ingredient…orange juice concentrate!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins (frozen or fresh)

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. In a pot-in-pot dish (I used one of these stainless steel pans*) add the orange juice concentrate, bbq sauce, ketchup, worcestershire, lemon juice, brown sugar and liquid smoke. Whisk* well until smooth.
  2. Add chicken broth into bottom of Instant Pot. Add the chicken tenders into the pot. Lightly sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. 
  3. Place a tall trivet* into the pot on top of the chicken. Place the pot-in-pot dish on top of the trivet.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the pressure cook button to 3 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  5. Move the pot-in-pot dish out of the Instant Pot and set aside. Drain the broth out and discard. Stir the sauce into the chicken. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Stir together 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1 Tbsp of water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot until thickened. Turn off Instant Pot.
