By rossboys

Ingredients

• 6-8 Bone in Chicken Thighs, skin removed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 1 Cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Lay the chicken thighs out on a cutting board and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Turn the Instant Pot on Sauté . When the display reads "hot" add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides in batches adding additional oil as needed.

Remove the chicken from the pot and add the water. Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any burned on bits.

Add the trivet to the pot, then the chicken. Seal the lid and set the cook time for 10 minutes.

When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, do a 10 minute natural pressure release, then release the rest of the pressure with a quick release.

Remove the chicken from the pot and serve.
