Share:
Ingredients
- 6 large chicken thighs skinless
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce make it low sodium if salt bothers you
- 1 cup liquid honey
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Thickening Agent
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a large glass measuring cup.
- Place the chicken thighs into the bottom of your Instant Pot and pour the sauce over top.
- Seal the Instant Pot according to the manufactures directions.
- Cook boneless chicken thighs on on high pressure for 20 minutes and bone-in for 22 minutes. (make your rice or potatoes during this time!)
- Let the pressure naturally release for 5-7 minutes, the remove the lid safely and according to the manufacturer's directions for manual release.
- Press the saute button. Whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then rapidly whisk into the sauce in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Cook until it's thickened.
- Serve the chicken thighs and the sauce on rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes
- Chicken thighs need to be an internal temperature of 165 °F for safety BUT are delicious when cooked longer. Dark chicken meat benefits from being cooked longer to break down the meat fibers and fat content. I find that at LEAST 185 °F is what you need for the best meat texture. If you have very large chicken thighs, cook for 25 minutes to get that velvety, fall apart texture. Smaller chicken thighs without a bone will be around 18 minutes. It all depends on the size, boneless or bone-in.
