Notes
**I used 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup Knob Creek Bourbon, but it is not mandatory.
***I used Bourbon and Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite sauce.
+Actual cooking time is 25 minutes AFTER your Instant Pot reaches pressure, which could take 10 to 12 minutes. The Natural Release adds an additional 15 minutes, but it is all hands-free cooking.
