Notes

Instant pot honey garlic chicken:
Place the saute button and once hot, add soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, ginger, sriracha and sesame oil to the instant pot and cook for a few minutes. Add the drumsticks and lock the lid.
Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes until fully cooked. Do a quick release. If the sauce is not thick enough, make the slurry with cornstarch and water and add it to the chicken and honey garlic sauce. Press the saute button and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
