Instructions
- Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, sugar, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne, and salt together in a small bowl.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set aside in a bowl or on a plate.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub to coat each piece evenly.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken and rub it in on all sides.
- Place the chicken in the pressure cooker in a single layer without crowding.
- Seal the lid and build pressure on high heat until the float valve pops up.
- Once pressure is built, cook for 12 minutes on high pressure.
- Allow the cooker to naturally release pressure after cooking to keep juices in.
- Open the lid carefully and serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Use the natural release method to ensure extra juicy and tender results. Serve with a side of roasted veggies or over rice for a full meal.
