• Place drumsticks into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and pour sauce on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove drumsticks and set aside.
• Switch to Saute function and bring sauce to a boil. Mix 2 tablespoons cold water and potato starch in a small bowl to make a thick slurry. Quickly stir mixture into the sauce and continue stirring until sauce has thickened to your preferred consistency. Serve drumsticks with sauce.

INSTANT POT GARLIC GINGER CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the sauce ingredients: water, soy, honey, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, garlic and ginger until combined.
• Pour sauce in the instant pot.
• Add chicken drumsticks and push them down so they are submerged in the sauce (they don't have to be completely covered in the sauce).
• Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes (MANUAL 10 MINUTES).
• Let the drumsticks cool for 5 minutes before releasing the steam (Natural Pressure Release 5 min NPR).
• Release the steam and hit the saute button so the sauce boils and starts reducing.
• Remove the drumsticks and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Broil the chicken drumsticks for 2 minutes on each side (or more if you'd like). Meanwhile, leave the sauce on the instant pot so it keeps reducing.
• Remove from the oven and place the chicken drumsticks on a platter. Pour sauce over and serve.
