INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs (4 chicken thighs)
Salt
Ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp chopped parsley
HONEY GARLIC SAUCE:
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp sugar or brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp water or chicken broth, preferred
3 dashes cayenne pepper
HOW TO MAKE HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN
Step 1: Prepare the chicken thighs, season them with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Step 2: In a bowl, add the Honey Garlic Sauce ingredients and mix well, making sure that the honey and sugar are fully dissolved, then set aside.
Step 3: Set the Instant Pot to “Saute”. Once the pot is hot, add a tbsp cooking oil. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and pan sear until each side is nicely brown.
Step 4: The chicken thighs still in the Instant Pot, add the rest of the half tbsp cooking oil followed by the garlic. Saute a bit, then pour in the sauce. Cover the pot and set it to “Manual” and High Pressure for about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Once you hear the beeps, turn the pot to “Quick Release”. Carefully remove the lid once the valve drops, then add in the chopped parsley.
Step 6: Serve the Chicken quickly with the honey garlic sauce.
NOTES:
You can make this recipe in a slow cooker or stovetop. Cook on high heat if using a slow cooker for about 3 hours. Alternately on a stovetop, pan-fry the chicken thighs, pour in the sauce, and simmer on low heat until the meat is tender.
