I live in Georgia but I appreciate the tangy, sweet and slightly spicy taste of Carolina vinegar chicken. —Ramona Parris, Acworth, Georgia

Directions

  1. In a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker, mix the first 6 ingredients; add chicken. Lock lid and close the pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes.
  2. Allow pressure to naturally release for 8 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
