    • salt
    • ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • For the Sauce:

    • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

    • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the chicken: Select the sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until browned.
  3. Make the sauce: Add garlic, chicken broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, and salt to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
