Ingredients
- 4-6 chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
1. Start by seasoning the chicken with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure to rub the spices into the chicken until they are fully incorporated.
2. Heat the butter in the Instant Pot on the sauté setting. Once the butter is melted, add in the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set aside.
3. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and all the remaining spices. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour and spice mixture, making sure to press the flour into the chicken.
4. Place the chicken back in the Instant Pot and add the chicken broth. Cover the pot and set it to the poultry setting. Cook for 10 minutes and then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
5. Once the pressure has released, carefully remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and set aside. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add oil. Fry the chicken until it is golden-brown and crispy. Serve the chicken with your favorite side dishes.

Recipe Tips
To make this dish extra flavorful, try adding a few tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce. This will give the chicken a nice kick of flavor. You can also add diced onions and garlic to the Instant Pot for an extra layer of flavor.
If you want to add a bit of crunch to the dish, try adding a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the flour mixture. This will make the coating even crunchier when it’s fried.
To make this dish a bit healthier, you can skip the frying step and bake the chicken in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. This will result in a lower fat and calorie count, but the chicken won’t be quite as crispy.
