PRESSURE-COOKER BBQ CHICKEN & SMOKED SAUSAGE

Pressure-Cooker BBQ Chicken & Smoked Sausage image

My party-ready barbecue recipe is perfect on weeknights, too. With just a little prep time, you still get that low-and-slow flavor everybody craves (thanks, pressure cooker!). Throw in minced jalapenos for extra oomph. -Kimberly Young, Mesquite, Texas
