Let me first say, this chicken is delicious! I made a big boo boo by not reading the recipe before I started, and ended up adding all the ingredients together but the chicken, before I realized I was supposed to add them separately oops! Anyway, I cooked the chicken on saute in my Instapot, and as the thighs were cooking I mixed up all the other ingredients, and got them ready to go. When chciken was almost done, I added the mixture to the chicken and let it reduce, turning the chicken every once in awhile, so nothing burned. I made rice with garlic and onion powder and a Herb OX chicken packet to give it a little more flavor. When chicken was done I plated it up and topped the rice with some of the sauce from the chicken. It was totally delish!

Great chicken. I only used half of the garlic, but next time I will use the full amount. We only had 5 thighs but used the whole amount for the sauce -- delicious! Thanks for sharing!

This really came together... it was flavorful and the pan sauce was great over rice. I made exactly as written and I wouldn't change a thing!

This was wonderful. The house smelled so good while this cooked, too. It's really simple to prepare, so there's no reason we can't have this regularly. The thighs were moist and flavorful, and we thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. Thanks, ForeverMama.

We really enjoyed this dish. Didn't miss the chicken skin at all! In fact, it's absence wasn't really even noticeable. The chicken thighs, (4), were very tasty and moist. I doubled the sauce, and kept the garlic and pepper flakes as called for. It was a tad spicy for me, but I loved it anyway! The sauce was great, and because we like things saucy, there was very little left over. Served with white rice and roasted asparagus. It's a keeper!
