Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 6-8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp butter
• ⅓ cup honey
• ½ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• ½ cup water
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds, optional for garnish
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and set aside.
2. Heat the Instant Potin SAUTE mode, add butter.
3. Arrange chicken in the pot and saute for about 2-3 minutes per side. (usually 4 thighs can saute at one time.)
4. While the chicken is sautéing, in a medium sized mixing bowl add the honey, soy sauce, water, garlic, and apple cider vinegar and mix well.
5. Once all the chicken is sautéed, press CANCEL. Place all chicken back inside the Instant Pot if you sauted it in shifts.
6. Pour the honey mixture over top of chicken.
7. Lock the lid, close the steam valve and press the POULTRY button. Adjust time to 20 minutes.
8. When Instant Pot is done cooking, do a quick steam release by carefully opening the steam valve.
9. Place the chicken in a serving dish to rest and set aside leaving the sauce in the Instant Pot.
10. Press the SAUTE button again to let the sauce thicken, stirring occasionally. This will take 10-15 minutes.
11. While the sauce thickens, toast the sesame seeds in a saute pan over medium heat on your stovetop (optional). Making sure to stir the seeds so they don't burn while they are toasting.
12. Once sauce is thickened, press CANCEL and then pour the sauce over the chicken thighs and garnish with sesame seeds.
13. Enjoy!
