It’s a great recipe but it just doesn’t work for the instant pot that I have. :( I don’t have the poultry setting and the high pressure doesn’t build for me.

J ★ 2.0/5

I thought that this recipe would be great simple and yummy... I want to add that not all pressure cookers have a poultry icon. So I used high pressure for 10. Stacking the meatballs wasn't a great idea, as the chicken all ended up blended together... after waiting the 10min.. thw meatballs weren't cooked all the way and the bottom of the pot was burning the BBQ sauce... I pressure cooked it again for another 5min still didn't cook all the way. I even scooped what I could from the bottom so the meatballs wouldn't fall apart... still burnt the bottom. And the meatballs didn't cook all the way.. I ended up having to transfer everything that was intact to my airfryer pan to bake for 20min.. also the meatballs that fell apart was about 50% of the entire recipe.
I will try with beef next time since the ground chicken is very sticky and mushy to hold together as a meatball. And I will try to oil the bottom of the pot first before hand or put a little brother so it doesn't burn...

I tried these today using Perdue ground chicken, Bob's Red Mill Organic coconut flour, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ. Unfortunately, a few fell apart in the IP and the rest sort of crumbled when plated. I found the texture to be a little off - I want to say grainy but that isn't quite right. This was my first time making a non-sweet food with coconut flour so maybe I'm just not use to it.

Beth ★ 5.0/5

I made this last night. Y’all!! 🤤🤤 I am always looking for quick ideas. I made these, left the IP on delay and went to the gym. All I had to do was sauté them when I got home while I made my salad and threw some rice with it. The roomie and I loved them! They’re going to be a staple in my weekly rotation!
😍🤗
