INSTANT POT CHICKEN RECIPES - HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Mix all the ingredients in the Honey Garlic Sauce together, stir to mix well. Make sure the honey and sugar are completely dissolved. Set aside.
• Turn on the Saute mode on your Instant Pot. As soon as the pot is heated, add 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil. Pan sear the chicken thighs (skin side down first) until both sides turn nicely brown.
• Leave the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil and add the garlic. Saute the garlic a little bit. Pour in the sauce and cover the lid. Select Manual and set to High pressure for 10 minutes.
• When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. When the valve drops, remove the lid carefully, add the chopped parsley and serve the Instant Pot chicken with honey garlic sauce immediately.

INSTANT POT HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Turn your Instant Pot on Sauté, spray with nonstick oil, add some extra oil (about 1 tablespoon) to the pot and brown the chicken on both sides first - this will also cut down on your cooking time. If you want to cut right to pressure cooking, just place the chicken pieces in the pot, but you will need to add extra time to your cooking anyway (couldn't tell you how much, I always saute. Try 5 minutes and let me know!).
• Mix together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup and garlic and add on top of the chicken. If it seems like there's not enough liquid, or if you are cooking from frozen, add ½ cup water.
• Put the lid on, ensure that the valve is sealed, and program your Instant Pot to Manual high pressure, and set it for 'x' amount of minutes (see notes) depending on the following for 2 lbs of chicken.
• When chicken is done cooking, perform a quick-release of the pressure by opening the valve, remove chicken with slotted spoon and set aside; make sure the chicken is cooked to 165ºF. Mix corn starch and water together in small bowl, add to sauce in Instant Pot and turn on to Sauté setting again, whisking until bubbling and thick.

EASY INSTANT POT® HONEY-GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Melt chicken soup base in hot water.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add avocado oil and butter; heat until butter melts. Add chicken pieces, skin-sides down, and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip chicken and brown the other side.
• Turn off pot and remove chicken to a plate. Pour 1/2 of the prepared soup base into the pot, scraping the browned bits off the bottom with a spatula.
• Add honey, teriyaki marinade, and garlic to the remaining prepared soup base, stirring until well mixed.
• Place the trivet inside the pot. Add chicken in a single layer. Pour honey mixture over chicken. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 minutes. Switch to the quick-release method to release remaining pressure, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Enjoy!
