Instant Pot Chicken Legs
The Instant Pot makes tender, juicy chicken legs that are full of flavor. Pressure cooking ensures the meat stays moist and never dries out.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken leg quarters
- 1 cup water or chicken broth
- your favorite seasoning, rub or sauce
Instructions
- Place your liquid in your instant pot. Add the trivet to your instant pot liner.
- Stack the chicken legs in a bookshelf manner. Place the thickest part of the chicken leg resting on the trivet. Facing the leg upwards toward the lid.
- Lock the lid and move the valve to the sealing position. Set to manual on high for 20 minutes.
- Once the IP beeps, let it naturally release for 8 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.
- Set the oven to broil and broil chicken legs until golden brown.
- Season and serve. I served with orzo with vegetables. See recipe in the blog post.
