Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6-8 Bone in Chicken Thighs, skin removed
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (Click here for my favorite brand on Amazon)
  • 1 Cup water or both

Instruction

  • Lay the chicken thighs out on a cutting board and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Turn the Instant Pot on HI Sauté .  When the display reads "hot" add 1 tablespoon of the oil.  Brown the chicken thighs on both sides in batches adding additional oil as needed.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and add the water.  Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to remove any burned bits.  Cancel sauté function.
  • Add the trivet to the pot, then the chicken.  Seal the lid and pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
  • When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, do a 10 minute natural pressure release, then release the rest of the pressure with a quick release.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and serve.
