Sweet Soy Chicken Thighs     

Ingredients:
4 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup ketchup
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Garnishes: sesame seeds and chopped scallions

Preparation:
Turn the Instant Pot on the Sauté setting and add the sesame oil. Add several of the chicken thighs, skin-side-down. Brown the skin for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Then remove the chicken thighs and repeat with the remaining thighs until all have been browned on the skin side. Place all the chicken thighs back in the Instant Pot, skin-side-up.

Pour the soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk well, then pour the glaze over the top of the chicken. Cook on high pressure 20 minutes, Quick Release. Remove 1/4 cup of the glaze out of the pot. Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch into the glaze. Then turn the Instant Pot back on Sauté and stir the cornstarch slurry back into the pot. Let it simmer for 2-4 minutes to thicken the glaze. Turn off the pot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.
