Skip the broiling, and use excess sauce in place of water. Really really good
Easy, delicious
It was fairly easy to make and really fall off the bone chicken! I didn’t bother broiling it. My whole family enjoyed this yummy meal!
This was amazing, no leftovers, family of 4 and one being picky loved every bit of it! Saved the juices from the pot for the rice, sooo good!!
didnt broil and still so good
Quite tasty. Just the right amount of hotness and Spice. The meat truly does fall off the bone.
Very tasty and easy. 15 minutes may have been too long though.
Tasty and easy to make. Keeping for future use.
Excellent!!! Quick and easy. I did put the chicken under the broiler for a couple minutes a side after it came out of the instant pot, but it doesnt really need that step.
Hi. Can i substitute the chicken legs with chicken breast?
Yes you can, if they are really thick then you may need to increase the cooking time a little.
The chicken came out exactly like that of the picture, and the meat was so succulent even when reheated for lunches. May be a bit spicy for kids, but if additional yogurt is added as a dipping sauce on the side, it’s very palatable.
It was pretty good. Liked by all, had to sub cayenne for the Indian chili and used thighs instead, but everything else was same.
No leftovers!!
