- 6-qt Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 3 pounds (about 6 to 8 pieces) chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- ½ cup vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using the SAUTE feature set on NORMAL, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Cancel the SAUTE function. Add the chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, red chili flakes, brown sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Close the lid making sure the valve is in SEALING position and cook on HIGH pressure for 14 minutes. Do a natural release for 10 minutes and manually release the rest of the pressure. Carefully open the lid.
- Remove the chicken and arrange in a single layer, skin side up, on a grill pan. Broil for about 2 to 4 minutes or until crispy and lightly browned. Watch closely as it can burn easily.
- Meanwhile, turn on the SAUTE function and cook the sauce for about 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced and thickened to desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Place the chicken over steamed rice and spoon sauce on top. Serve hot.
