Instant Pot Honey Ginger Drumsticks
Ginger Drumsticks
Equipment
- 1 6 quart pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks, or bone-in chicken thighs.
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos, or soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, SEE NOTES BELOW
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon korean chili flakes, (optional) garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced, optional garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the water, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, onion powder. Whisk in the honey and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Place the drumsticks OR bone-in thighs into the pot of your pressure cooker OR slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top.
- Make sure the silicone ring is inserted into your lid and seal your cooker. Set to pressure cook for 10 minutes on high and let slow release for 10-15 more minutes. Release any remaining pressure before opening the lid. For the SLOW COOKER: Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 6- 8 hours. If you are using the Instant Pot as the slow cooker, I do recommend cooking this recipe on HIGH, the temperature seems to work a little different and always turns out best cooking it on the highest setting. You will also need the appropriate glass lid if you have never used this setting before.
- Serve the chicken over rice or noodles and your favorite veggie side dish. Garnish with sliced onion and a sprinkle of the Korean chili flakes. Enjoy!
