- Start by making the sauce. Dump the following ingredients into the removable pot: soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, honey, and brown sugar. Add optional ingredients: bourbon and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine.
- Place the chicken thighs into the sauce. Try to lay them in a single layer.
- Place the pressure cooking lid on. Make sure the lid valve is set to SEAL. Set to high for 20 minutes.
- Once it is done pressure cooking, allow the steam to naturally release for 5 minutes and then move the lid's valve from SEAL to VENT and quickly release the remaining steam.
- Remove the chicken from the removable pot using tongs and shred the chicken.
- Combine two Tablespoons of corn starch and about one Tablespoon of water in a separate bowl. Stir together until you make a paste or sludge.
- Add the corn starch mixture to the removable pot with the sauce. Stir. This will thicken the sauce.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the sauce.
- Serve.
