Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

Chicken thighs are the hero of dinnertime. Cheap and easy recipes like this one save you from potential dinnertime woes. They are the reason you should always pick up boneless, skinless chicken thighs from the grocery store even if you don't have a specific plan in mind for them.

The honey garlic sauce packs a punch and the Instant Pot saves time so you can prepare side dishes like roasted bok choy and coconut rice. You could even toss in a few halved baby potatoes and sliced carrots to the mix and let them cook alongside the chicken. Regardless of what you serve with these sweet, savory, salty chicken thighs, they are sure to be a hit.

"The honey-garlic chicken thighs made an easy and tasty meal with some crispy rice. To avoid a 'burn' error, make sure you deglaze the pan and scrape up all the stuck-on bits before adding the sauce and pressure cooking. The recipe worked well in my 6-quart Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus." —Diana Rattray
