Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  2. 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  3. ½ cup brown sugar
  4. ½ cup soy sauce
  5. ¼ cup honey
  6. ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  7. 1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  8. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  9. 2 tablespoons cold water
  10. 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour in olive oil and warm until hot. Add chicken thighs and brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

  4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  5. Stir cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Remove chicken thighs from Instant Pot® and transfer to a plate.
  6. Select Saute function. Pour cornstarch mixture into the remaining sauce in the pot. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off Saute mode. Pour some of the sauce over teriyaki thighs and serve.

Devon Brown
It was excellent I had to change up the recipe a bit I didn’t have all the ingredients I used teriyaki sauce,maple syrup, wht. Sugar,powered ginger, onion, garlic, chic broth but I followed your recipe the chicken was so tender Thanks
Melissa Jimenez
I doubled the recipe (except for the brown sugar) to have leftovers. Fabulous!
Patricia Brown
Oh so good and easy. A family favorite and in my “make again” recipe file. There are many critical comments about changing the recipe. However, due to lack of some of the ingredients for the sauce I used Trader Joe’s Soyaki and it worked very well.
Katelyn Brown
No need to make any changes. The sauce was delightful and the chicken was falling apart.
Derek Giles
Delicious and all 5 of us loved it!!
Robert Hicks
Great recipe!
Daniel Francis
Absolutely delicious. I will say, because I’m a celiac, my soy sauce is tamari and I believe that changed “something”. That being said, this was amazing. Absolutely delicious.
Connor Golden
Not impressed. Just thought it was average.
Albert Thompson
I used half the sugar and boneless skinless chicken thighs. It turned out pretty dry but we still ate it. Next time I will cook less time or use bone in thighs.
Ashley Harris
I made this recipe as directed and my husband and I found the sauce to be way too sweet. However, my 15 YO thought it was great. I’ll try it again but with less brown sugar.
Kiara Hernandez
perfect! used 3 chicken breast and turned out great. made as directed no changes.
Brandon Phillips
Delicious!!! Exactly as the recipe stated.
Patricia Hughes
No changes! It was simple and very tasty! Thanks!
Jacqueline Newman
Delicious and simple to make! as good as any restaurant chicken teriyaki I`ve had. Next time we plan on adding some chili to spicy it up and balance the sweet
Andrew Chang
Excellent recipe, easy to make. Only suggestion is to double the recipe (make it with 8 thighs and double the rest of the ingredients too) as it will be gobbled down quickly! I found the last time I was out of fresh ginger and used ginger powder instead, worked okay.
Anna Gates
A very good and EZY! recipe. I did not strain out the scallions rather I left the and all of the juice in the pot and thickened it and it was fine. Next time I am adding some shrooms. I didn’t give this 5 stars because, even though Taster Brother loved it, I thought it lacked the WOW factor.
Keith Williams
These were wonderful. I used thighs that were really too small, didn’t know my wife had the larger ones in a different bag in the freezer. I also poured too much sauce over the rice. All my fault!
Brittany Dougherty
I followed the recipe and it was great. So good in fact that someone grabbed the leftovers out of the refrigerator and made off with them!
Sandra Adams
THEE MOST AMAZING I’VE EVER MADE THANK YOU – MY HUSBAND LOVED IT!!!! I LOVED IT!! I’VE FLOPPED 5 OTHER RECIPE’S BEFORE THIS ONE SO I’M SO HAPPY
Amanda Garrett
Delicious. Big hit with the fam. I followed the recipe exactly.
Regina Harrison
Yum Yum Yum! I followed the directions exactly except I did a quick release and it was fine. This chicken was delicious! Served with white rice but next time I’ll add some snow peas and/or mushrooms.
