Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon Pickapeppa sauce
- 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 chicken thighs or drumsticks
Instructions
- Stir together ketchup, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, Pickapeppa sauce, Jamaican jerk seasoning, and salt in the Instant Pot.
- Add chicken pieces and stir to coat.
- Close Instant Pot Lid.
- Pressure cook for 10 minutes on High Pressure.
- Do a quick release of pressure and carefully open the Instant Pot. [Read More: The Different Pressure Release Methods].
- Remove chicken pieces and set aside.
- Press Saute and reduce the sauce until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Use a splatter screen if necessary, to prevent splatters.
- Grill chicken for just enough time to get sear marks, and to give it a grilled look and flavor, about 2 minutes per side. You can either baste each side while you grill, or coat the chicken in the sauce before placing on the grill.
- Serve with peach salsa or fried plantains, and beans and rice. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
Notes
- Adapted from Cuisine at Home magazine Weeknight Meals
- If not finishing on the grill, increase pressure cooking time to 12 minutes.
- Natural Pressure Release also works fine for this recipe.
