Instant Pot Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

The most incredible Instant Pot spicy teriyaki chicken thighs! Moist chicken with a thick sweet and spicy sauce you’ll love. Amazing pressure cooker recipe.

Ok so I have created a lot of new Instant Pot recipes here on The Typical Mom since I got my favorite 7 in 1 pressure cooker appliance but these Instant Pot spicy teriyaki chicken thighs came out SO amazing I am still talking about them! You know every once and a while you come up with something you can actually pat yourself on the back for because it is just so amazing, well this is one of them! I made Instant Pot teriyaki chicken a while back using bottled teriyaki sauce but this time I wanted to see if I could come up with a sauce of my own that had some spice to it, I will share that recipe below.

This is what you will need to make Instant Pot spicy teriyaki chicken thighs:

1. Instant Pot or pressure cooker
2. Chicken thighs (skinless, mine had bones and it was fine)
3. Rice
4. Ingredients for spicy teriyaki sauce (shown below)

Cooking the chicken in the spicy sauce allows it to marinate and soak up all the flavors while it cooks in your pressure cooker so it’s way better than just pouring it on top. You can adjust the heat to your liking too. I do not like a lot of spicy foods but this one is just right and my kids loved it too.
