Ingredients
- 5 chicken thighs with the skin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt kosher
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons chives freshly diced
Instructions
- Set the instant pot to sauté setting and add the oil to the insert.
- Once the pot is hot, add the chicken skin side down and sear for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken on the other side and sear for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat searing on each side a second time.
- After the chicken is browned, add the vinegar and scrap the bottom of the pot to loosen any remnants to prevent burning.
- Add the soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, and bay leaves.
- Seal the lid and pressure valve and set the instant pot to high pressure for 7 minutes. When the timer is complete naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and drizzle the sauce in the instant pot over the chicken.
- Garnish with chives and serve with steamed rice or any other favorite side.
Notes
- When you add the vinegar make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to remove all the brown bits. This will not only add flavor to the sauce but it will prevent a burn notice.
- Make sure that you allow this Instant Pot Adobo Chicken to complete a natural release for at least 10 minutes. This prevents the chicken from being tough.
- You shouldn't have a lot of liquid left, however, if there is too much liquid you can turn the pot on saute and add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it then pour it over the chicken pieces.
