Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken

Step 1

Combine the soy sauce, ketchup, honey and garlic.

Step 2

If you want a crispy skin on the chicken thighs, set the IP to saute and add 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil to the bottom of the pot. Allow to get hot before adding the chicken thighs.

Step 3

Cook until they release easily from the bottom, about 4-5 minutes, then turn off the IP.

Step 4

Turn over the chicken thighs and pour the honey garlic sauce all over.

Step 5

Place the lid on the IP, select "manual" and increase time to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Quick release. Remove lid. Set IP to saute.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Stir briskly into the honey garlic chicken mixture to thicken the sauce.

Step 8

When sauce reaches desired consistency, turn IP off and serve. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
