Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken thighs (skin-on)
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- optional: cornstarch slurry (1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon warm water)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
-
Pat the thighs dry. Use Sauté mode to heat the oil, then brown the chicken 2–3 minutes per side.
-
Mix the garlic, honey, soy sauce, and chili-garlic sauce. Turn Sauté off and add the sauce to the chicken.
-
Seal and pressure-cook on High for 5 minutes, then carefully quick-release. Check that the chicken has reached 165°F; if needed, pressure-cook another 1–3 minutes.
-
For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and simmer the optional cornstarch slurry into the sauce using Sauté. Spoon over the chicken and add optional sesame seeds.
