- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup Honey
- 1 ½ tablespoons Fresh lime juice juice of 1 lime
- 1 pinch Salt
- ½ teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions
Instructions
- Whisk together garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, salt, black pepper, Sriracha seasoning, and crushed chili flakes (if using).
- Toss chicken thighs in a bowl or zip-top bag with the marinade. Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook 6–7 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer browned chicken and juices to the pressure cooker. Pour remaining marinade over top.
- Seal lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let naturally release pressure for 10 more minutes, then slowly release remaining pressure.
- Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving. Spoon sauce over top and garnish with parsley and lime wedges.
Notes
For milder flavor, reduce or omit chili flakes and Sriracha. Store leftovers in airtight containers up to 4 days in fridge or freeze for longer storage. Browning before pressure cooking adds flavor but can be skipped for speed.
