½cupBrown sugar
3tablespoonHoney
3tablespoonSoy sauce

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.
