Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thawed
- 1 3/4 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic, divided
- 3 teaspoons grated ginger, divided
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, divided
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons hoisin, divided
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
- 4 tablespoons Sriracha, divided
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 green onions, white and green parts sliced
Instructions
- Pat the thighs dry and add them to the pressure cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together the stock, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Sriracha. Pour over the thighs.
- Lock the lid down and set the timer to High pressure for 10 minutes. If using a Gas Pressure Cooker, place it over high heat. Once the pressure cooker is up to temperature, reduce the heat to low to maintain a high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes. If using an Electric Pressure Cooker, set it to high with a timer of 10 minutes.
- While the thighs are cooking, place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, the remaining 2 teaspoons ginger, honey, 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce, the remaining 1/2 cup hoisin, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the remaining 3 tablespoons Sriracha, and the remaining 4 tablespoons brown sugar, and whisk.
- Bring the mixture to a slight boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until slightly thickened, like BBQ sauce, 10-15 minutes.
- When the 10 minutes are up, do a quick release on the pressure cooker. While the quick release relieves pressure, place the oven to broil with a rack in the middle.
- Line a rimmed pan with foil and place a cooling rack on top. Lightly spray the rack. Gently remove the thighs from the pressure cooker with tongs and place them on the rack; discard the cooking liquid. Place the thighs in the oven and broil for 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the pan from the oven and slather on some sauce. Return to the broiler for 5 minutes.
- Flip the thighs over, cover with more sauce, and broil for 5 more minutes or until they are nicely charred. Place the sauce in a container for serving. Garnish with green onions. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
