Instructions
 

INSTANT POT FREEZER MEAL DIRECTIONS:

  • For this Spicy Chicken Leg freezer meal recipe, I needed to do a quick cold water defrost in a bowl of cold water just long enough to be able to get the freezer meal components to dump out of the bag.
  • Dump Spicy Chicken Leg freezer meal into the Instant Pot. Close pressure cooker lid and set pressure valve to seal.
  • Place Instant Pot on manual high for 25 minutes. Let naturally release or safely do a quick release.
  • Once done make sure the internal temperature of your meat reaches at least 165 degrees.

SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS:

  • The USDA recommends not cooking chicken from frozen in the slow cooker. Because of this set your bag of frozen Spicy Chicken Legs from your freezer into your refrigerator the night before you need to cook it.
  • Place defrost freezer meal in the slow cooker on the cooking day for 7-8 hours on low and up to 4 hours on high.
