Instant Pot Sweet And Spicy Chicken Thighs Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, garlic, red pepper flakes, and pepper together in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add chicken thighs and turn to coat with the sauce. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken thighs and set aside, keeping them warm.
• Select Saute function. Stir together water and cornstarch in a small bowl and add slurry to Instant Pot®. Cook and stir until sauce has thickened and reduced, about 5 minutes. Return chicken thighs to the sauce and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in batches until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, hoisin and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
• Add the onions, chili paste, ginger, garlic and scallions to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the sauce and deglaze the pan, then return the chicken to the pot. Add the butternut squash, bring to a simmer and cover. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter. Add the kale, then stir in and allow to wilt. Spoon over and around the chicken, then garnish with cilantro leaves.
