Ingredients

  • 1-2 pounds Chicken thighs 15 min for thaw, 30 min for frozen in the IP
  • ½ cup Water
  • ½ cup Pineapple juice
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon Honey
  • 3 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Salt and pepper your chicken and place with water in the IP.
  • Mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic
    powder, salt and pepper with a whisk until sugar is dissolved. Pour over chicken and water in the Instant pot.
  • Set to Manual or Pressure cook for 15 minutes. When cooking
    is done, turn to off and allow to  natural pressure release(NPR) for about 8-10 minutes, relieve what is left of pressure and remove the chicken. Leave the cooking liquid in and put the  chicken to rest on a foil lined pan.
  • Heat the broiler  to medium high to crisp the skin on the thighs. While the oven is heating, set the
    cooking liquid in the IP to saute’.  Bring to a boil, stirring often as it cooks down to a sauce, 5 to 15 minutes
    depending on how thick you want it. Baste the thighs with the sauce and cook under the broiler for 5 minutes on each side, basting each time. Reserve the rest of the sauce for dipping.
