Rotisserie-Seasoned Chicken Thighs in the Instant Pot

Prep 5 minutes
Cook 14 minutes
Total 19 minutes
While looking for an interesting Instant Pot recipe to try, I found this one for chicken thighs.
It’s so simple, it’s hard to even call it a recipe. Total time depends on your Instant Pot, and how long it takes to initially heat (add up to 10 minutes for warm-up).

Method

Sous-Chef Preparations
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, coat 8 Chicken thighs in Seasoning of your choice.
    2. We use Epicure’s Rotisserie Chicken seasoning and use a fair bit for flavour, but it is really good with any seasoning mix you want to try.
  2. Prepare ½ cup Chicken broth.
    3. Some people prefer to contrast the main chicken flavour with a vegetable broth.
Main Preparations
  1. Heat the Instant Pot to sauté and add 1 tbsp Avocado oil.
    2. Some Instant Pots heat quickly, while others are slow. Add up to ten minutes to the initial 19-minute estimate.
  2. Brown the 8 Chicken thighs, a few minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pot.
  3. Add ½ cup Chicken broth.
  4. Scrape up the pieces that are stuck on the pan (a wooden spoon works best). Put the chicken back in.
  5. Put the lid on. Set to high pressure for 9 minutes.
  6. Once done, let it naturally release for 2-3 minutes before releasing the rest of the way.

Until the next concoction...
