Instructions
- Step 1

Cook until they release easily from the bottom, about 4-5 minutes, then turn off the IP.
- Step 4
Turn over the chicken thighs and pour the honey garlic sauce all over.
- Step 5
Place the lid on the IP, select “manual” and increase time to 15 minutes.
- Step 6
Quick release. Remove lid. Set IP to saute.
- Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Stir briskly into the honey garlic chicken mixture to thicken the sauce.

When sauce reaches desired consistency, turn IP off and serve. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
