Tips and Tricks

– The spices for marinating and for the sauce are almost the same. – To be efficient, put the sauce ingredients in the Instant Pot, and the raw chicken in a bowl. – You can make this recipe with skinless chicken breasts if you prefer. – If you don't like your food spicy, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper to reduce the heat.
