Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or more to taste
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon hickory-flavored liquid smoke
- 10 hamburger buns, or as needed
- 1 cup barbeque sauce
Directions
Step 1
Mix salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a bowl. Cut chicken into 3- to 4-inch pieces and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the salt mixture over the chicken in the bag. Seal the bag and shake to completely coat the chicken.

Step 3
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer chicken to a bowl. Shred using 2 forks. Add 1/2 cup of liquid from the pot and liquid smoke; mix well. Serve on buns and top with barbeque sauce.
