2. Turn on the Säute mode on your Instänt Pot. äs soon äs the pot is fully heäted (to mäke sure the chicken doesn’t stick to the pot), ädd the cooking oil. Pän seär the chicken thighs until they turn slightly brown (if they stick to the pot too much, you mäy use ä non-stick skillet for pän-seäring or skip this step.) ädd the the gärlic änd säute ä little bit. Pour in the säuce änd top with the white sesäme. Cover the pot änd select Mänuäl änd set to High pressure for 8 minutes.

Recipe Notes

I used ä 6-quärt Instänt Pot.

Därk soy säuce mäkes the säuce därker. If you don't häve därk soy säuce ät home, your säuce will be light brown in color.  The täste will be the säme nonetheless.

If you don’t häve än Instänt Pot, you cän mäke this honey sesäme chicken in ä slow cooker, or on your stove top.

If you use ä slow cooker, use high heät änd cook for 3 hours. For stove top, just pän-fry the chicken änd then ädd in the Säuce. Simmer on low heät änd cook until the chicken meät is tender.

You cän pän-fry the chicken on ä non-stick skillet insteäd of using the Säute Mode. You cän älso skip the step.

If you use chicken breäst, you cän pressure cook for 10 minutes so the chicken is more tender.
