- Secure and lock the lid. make sure the pressure handle is pointing to Sealing on Duo Classic. Select Manual/Pressure Cook and adjust the timer to 4 minutes on HIGH pressure. After a few beeps/seconds, the ON sign will come on indicating the pot is heating up and the pressure is building; pressurizing will take about 3-5 minutes and then the 4-minute timer will begin.
- Once the timer is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. Then use the quick release method to let off the remaining pressure (press the steam knob down or point to Venting on older models).
- Open the lid and stir the contents. The sauce will look a little thin at this stage. Press the Sauté setting button again. Stir in the brown sugar and let the sauce bubble for 5-6 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
- In a small bowl stir together the cornstarch or flour and water. Stir this cornstarch slurry into the Instant Pot and let the sauce thicken for a minute. Press Cancel to stop the Saute process.
- Taste for seasoning and add more salt or hot sauce if desired. Serve over rice or noodles with favorite vegetables on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat Instant Pot to saute setting. Season chicken thighs with salt. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil to pot, swirl to coat, and add chicken thighs in two batches so as not to overcrowd. Saute until golden, flipping once, about 4 minutes per side, transferring them to a large plate as they finish. Add remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil and red onion. Season with salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and onions turn golden in spots, about 5 minutes more. Add orange juice and zest, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, chicken broth, garlic, ginger, honey, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, scraping bottom of pan to deglaze. (You can also do this in a skillet over high heat; cooking time will be reduced.).
- Place chicken thighs (and onion mixture, if you used a skillet on the stovetop) in pot, nestling them into as even a layer as possible.
- Cover and cook on high pressure for 18 minutes. Release the pressure manually. Return Instant Pot to saute setting.
- Transfer thighs to a plate and cover to keep warm. Place cornstarch in a medium bowl. Gradually ladle approximately ¼ cup of cooking liquid into cornstarch, whisking constantly until smooth. Pour cornstarch mixture back into the pot. Cook, whisking, until mixture has come to a boil and thickened slightly. Add snap peas and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until snap peas are crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with pan juices and rice, garnished with sesame seeds and scallions, if desired.
