    An electric pressure is irreplaceable when it comes to tender roasts and making amazing bone-in chicken thighs super tender. I love to remove the skin and then just throw them in the Instant pot with a sauce and let them cook. The result? Amazingly flavorful chicken that is tender, juicy, and perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

    These Instant pot teriyaki chicken thighs use the same sauce as my keto Teriyaki chicken recipe, Teriyaki chicken legs, teriyaki salmon, and teriyaki pork tenderloin. It is so good and so easy to make!
