  • You can vary the spices you add to this peanut butter chicken to suit your taste. For example, freshly grated ginger adds a lovely note. Add ginger with the spices.
  • If you prefer to make peanut sauce chicken with thigh meat, you will need to increase the cooking time.

  • To avoid a burn notice, DO NOT MIX in the peanut butter prior to cooking. Make sure it is on the very top and not touching the bottom or sides of the Instant Pot insert.
