Instant Pot Apple Chicken

Ingredients

4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1-1/2 pounds), skin removed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/2 cup apple cider or juice

1 medium onion, chopped

1/3 cup barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker.
Adjust for medium heat; add oil.
When oil is hot, brown chicken; remove and keep warm.

Press cancel. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve.
Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes.
Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure.
A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 170°.

Select saute setting and adjust for low heat.
Add apples; simmer, stirring constantly, until apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
