Instructions
MAKE SPICE RUB:
Mx together red paprika, black pepper powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt in a small bowl.
Gently massage the spice rub all over the chicken.
BROWN CHICKEN:
Set the instant pot to the SAUTE function.
Add oil to the pot. Once hot, add all the chicken drumsticks in a single layer and brown on all sides for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add water to the pot and deglaze the pot. Place a trivet in the pot. Arrange the chicken drumsticks on the trivet.
PRESSURE COOK:
Close the lid and pressure valve. Select the PRESSURE COOK button on HIGH PRESSURE and cook for 10 minutes.
Once the pressure-cooking cycle is over, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
Open the lid and select the CANCEL button.
Carefully take the chicken out with the help of tongs.
Transfer the chicken to a baking tray. Broil the chicken drumsticks for 2 minutes per side.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and BBQ sauce.

You can store the CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS in an airtight container for 4 days in the refrigerator or around 3 months in the freezer.
