Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Thighs Ingredients:

Instructions

  • Place a cup/240ml of water into the bottom of your instant pot inner pot. Add your steamer basket or trivet. Add frozen chicken thighs. Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 25 minutes on manual pressure cook.

  • Replace the instant pot lid with the air fryer lid. Set the time to 10 minutes with a temperature of 260c/500f. Then you will have crispy skin. If it is not crispy enough for you, add a little extra virgin olive oil spray and cook for another 3 minutes. Use kitchen tongs to remove the chicken thighs as they will be very hot. Load onto plates and serve with your favourite sides.

Notes

Warning. If using the air fryer crisp lid, they get incredibly hot. Be careful when removing it from the instant pot and place it on a heat mat.
Blackened. If you would like the blackened barbecue look, then I recommend swapping balsamic vinegar for honey.
