- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¼ cup chicken broth
- ½ onion (thickly sliced)
Steps
Combine spices in a small bowl. Season chicken with spice mixture.
Turn a 6QT Instant Pot onto saute. Add olive oil and heat 1 minute.
Place ½ of the chicken skin side down in the instant pot and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp and it releases easily from the pan. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed. Turn Instant Pot off. *see note for frozen thighs
Add chicken broth to the bottom of the pot and scrape any brown bits. Add onion slices.
Place the trivet in the Instant Pot and place thighs skin side up on the trivet.
Select manual and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. Allow to naturally release for 5 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.
Optional: Place chicken on a foil-lined pan and place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes to crisp skin. Serve with juices from the Instant Pot.
