Time 55m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon® Roasted Chicken Base)
1 cup hot water
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 (6 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs, with skin
3 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin
⅓ cup honey
2 tablespoons teriyaki marinade (such as Kikkoman®)
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Melt chicken soup base in hot water.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add avocado oil and butter; heat until butter melts. Add chicken pieces, skin-sides down, and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip chicken and brown the other side.
  • Turn off pot and remove chicken to a plate. Pour 1/2 of the prepared soup base into the pot, scraping the browned bits off the bottom with a spatula.
  • Add honey, teriyaki marinade, and garlic to the remaining prepared soup base, stirring until well mixed.
  • Place the trivet inside the pot. Add chicken in a single layer. Pour honey mixture over chicken. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 minutes. Switch to the quick-release method to release remaining pressure, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Enjoy!
