Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Thighs Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thigh medium, frozen
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tsp Garlic puree
  • 1 Tsp grainy mustard
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp honey optional

Instructions

  1. Place a cup/240ml of water into the bottom of your instant pot inner pot. Add your steamer basket or trivet. Add frozen chicken thighs. Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 25 minutes on manual pressure cook.
  2. Load seasonings into a small bowl and mix.
  3. When the instant pot beeps, manually release pressure. Brush your seasoning over the skin of your just cooked chicken thighs.
  4. Replace the instant pot lid with the air fryer lid. Set the time to 10 minutes with a temperature of 260c/500f. Then you will have crispy skin. If it is not crispy enough for you, add a little extra virgin olive oil spray and cook for another 3 minutes. Use kitchen tongs to remove the chicken thighs as they will be very hot. Load onto plates and serve with your favourite sides.

Notes

  • Warning. If using the air fryer crisp lid, they get incredibly hot. Be careful when removing it from the instant pot and place it on a heat mat.
  • Blackened. If you would like the blackened barbecue look, then I recommend swapping balsamic vinegar for honey.
  • Thanks for reading our instant pot frozen chicken thighs recipe on Recipe This. We have many more instant pot recipes for you to check out next. Though, our personal recommendation would be to pair our instant pot chicken thighs with a salad or our air fryer roast potatoes.
