Directions

  1. Whisk honey, soy sauce, water, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl, set aside.

  2. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Adjust for medium heat and add sesame oil. Cook chicken in batches in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Return all chicken to the pot and stir in honey-soy mixture. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
