Instant Pot Sweet Garlic Drummies

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs Organic Chicken Drummies (10 – 12 chicken legs)
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce (coconut aminos can be subbed)
  • 4 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 4 Tbsp Honey
  • 4 Tbsp Organic Cane sugar (coconut sugar can be subbed)
  • 4 Tsp Minced Garlic (or 4 cloves minced garlic cloves)
  • 2 Tsp Ginger concentrate (or 2 tsp minced fresh ginger) – image below shows my fave Ginger Juice by the Ginger People (thank you Whole Foods)
  • 1.5 cups Mirepoix (fresh or frozen  – found at most grocery stores including Trader Joes). If you don’t have this on hand, sub 1 cup diced onion

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sugar, garlic and ginger concentrate until it’s a well mixed sauce.
  2. Put the mirepoix mix into the Instant Pot and pour the sauce on top. 
  3. Put all of the chicken drummies into the Instant Pot and push down into the sauce. They do not need to be completely submerged but should be partially covered. I used chicken with the skin on, but I would recommend using skinless because the bones provide enough flavor.
  4. Seal the top of the Instant Pot and cook on high for 10 minutes.
  5. Let the pressure release naturally for 5-10 minutes and then release the remaining steam (there shouldn’t be much).
  6. Remove the drummies and put into a serving dish (something with sides to keep the sauce in).
  7. You can pour the sauce as is on top of the chicken and eat with white rice. If you want a thicker sauce, sauté
    the sauce in your Instant Pot (after you take out the chicken) until it reduces a bit.
  8. ENJOY! Top with scallions and/or sesame seeds for a little extra something! Keep scrolling for more photos and some ideas of what to serve as a side dish for this meal! XOXO
