  • 2 cloves peeled garlic (optional)

  4. 4

    Put the trivet or a steamer basket on top of the water/veggies. Put the thighs on top of the trivet in a single layer (it’s okay if they overlap a little bit but not much).

    Seal the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealed. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for the times listed in notes.

    Once the pressure cooker has counted down, let it do a natural release for 5 minutes before turning the valve to vent.
