Instructions
- Place frozen chicken thighs and broth inside the Instant Pot, being mindful not to stack if possible. Sprinkle evenly with all the seasonings.
- Lock and seal the lid.
- Using the manual function, cook at high pressure for 15-20 minutes if using boneless chicken thighs (17-22 if using bone-in) and then quick release the pressure. (Check to make sure the chicken is done, which means no more pink inside and/or registers 165°F internally.)
- Optional: Preheat the broiler. Place the cooked thighs, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil for a few minutes until the skin is crispy.
