Mix the spices together. Dust the drumsticks with the. Add 1 cup of water to the instant pot, then the rack, then add the drumsticks in, standing up, fat side down.

Seal the Instant Pot and set to High Pressure, 13 minutes. When finished, let release naturally for 5 minutes then release the remaining steam manually.

In the meantime, preheat the broiler or preheat the grill to medium-high. If using the broiler, set oven rack about six inches below the broiler unit. Set up a rack, heavily sprayed, over an aluminum foil-lined (for easy clean up) sheet tray. When the chicken legs are finished cooking in the Instant Pot, remove them.

If using the grill, add the chicken legs to the grill, brush with barbecue sauce, then close the lid for a minute or two. Once the sauce looks a little dried, turn over, brush the top side and grill until you see grill marks and some good caramelization where the chicken meets the grill. Turn the legs over and caramelize what was the top side, adding more sauce if needed.

If using the broiler, place the legs on the rack, in two rows, the fat side towards the center. Brush with barbecue sauce, place under the broiler. Broil, turning the sheet pan front to back if necessary or moving it around until the sauce has somewhat dried and the legs are caramelized in spots. Turn the legs over and repeat.

With either grill or broiler method, be patient; this process will take 8 to 10 minutes.
