When I first bought my instant pot, I started my search for recipes. I came across this finger-lickin’ good chicken thigh recipe with an Asian flair. It turned out to be a winner, winner chicken dinner in our home. You’ll want to make these quick & easy juicy thighs often. I usually serve these with a side of fried rice or pilaf and a veggie.
