Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
For The Sauce:
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
- 4-5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce more more less to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce EXCEPT the cornstarch.
- Pour sauce over chicken in the instant pot, turn the chicken to coat completely in the sauce.
- Set the instant pot to manual, high pressure for 10 minutes. Be sure the steam vent is set to sealing.
- Allow the instant pot to come to pressure and then cook for 10 minutes. When it is finished cooking, allow to to naturally release (this will take 10-20 minutes. If you are in a hurry, allow the pressure to naturally release for at least 10 minutes before using the quick release).
- When you can open the pot, remove the chicken carefully (it will be very tender and be falling apart). Spoon about 1/4 cup of the juices into a jar and add the tablespoon of cornstarch. Seal the jar and shake to make a slurry (do this very carefully if the liquid is hot - it builds up pressure and will spray! Alternately you can whisk it together in a small bowl).
- Pour the cornstarch mixture back into the pot with the rest of the cooking liquid. Switch the instant pot to saute mode. Carefully add the chicken back into the pot.
- Allow the sauce to cook and thicken, stirring often, for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to stir often as the sauce will be more likely to burn as it thickens. When sauce has reached desired consistency, turn off the instant pot.
- Serve right away over rice, in lettuce wraps or on a salad!
Notes
- It is important to add the cornstarch at the end and not at the beginning because cornstarch will clog the steam vent.
