Steps:

• Season the chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Turn an Instant Pot® (see Cook's Note) to the high saute setting and add the oil. Once it's shimmering, but not smoking, add half the chicken pieces and brown on both sides, about 7 minutes. Remove with tongs to a plate and brown the remaining chicken pieces.
• Return all the chicken to the multi-cooker and add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, onion and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and turn the Instant Pot® back to the high saute setting. Let the sauce come to a boil and reduce it until dark brown and thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Transfer the chicken and sauce to a serving platter, sprinkle with scallions and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Make the marinade by combining the vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), garlic and peppercorns in a large bowl or pot. Add the chicken pieces. Bruise or poke the chicken using a metal skewer for better absorption of flavors. Marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Set your instant pot to saute. When hot add the oil. Brown the chicken in batches.
• Remove the chicken pieces to a plate. Add a little more oil if needed then saute the chopped onion until starting to brown. Pour in the marinade and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove the brown bits. Add the bay leaves and sugar (if you fancy a slightly sweeter adobo but leave out if doing low-carb). You may also add a little water if you want more sauce unless you prefer a dryer adobo. Stir.
• Return the chicken pieces to the pan and cover with the lid. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes. For a shortcut, you may simply use the poultry setting. Allow the Instant Pot to release its pressure naturally. Trasfer to a deep dish and serve immediately with rice on the side!

Steps:

• Prepare Pressure Cooker: Heat up your pressure cooker (Instant Pot: press Sauté button, then Adjust button to Sauté More function). Make sure your pot is as hot as it can be (Instant Pot: wait until indicator says HOT).
• Make Adobo Sauce: In a medium glass measuring cup, mix and combine 1 tbsp (12.5g) sugar, 1 tbsp (15ml) fish sauce, ¼ cup (63ml) Filipino soy sauce, ⅓ cup (83ml) regular soy sauce, and ⅓ cup (83ml) Filipino vinegar.

In a small mixing bowl, mix 2.5 tbsp (22.5g) cornstarch with 3 tbsp (45ml) cold water. Mix it in one third at a time until desired thickness. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more vinegar, sugar, or soy sauce accordingly. Coat chicken thighs with adobo sauce by placing them back in the pot.
• Optional Step to Crisp Skin: Place chicken adobo (coated with a thin layer of sauce on top) on a baking tray and put it under a broiler for 5 - 10 minutes to maximize the flavor and crisp up the skin.
• Serve: Serve chicken adobo with Jasmine rice. Drizzle lightly with the adobo sauce and garnish with green onions on top.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN ADOBO AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 6-quart multicooker set to the high "Saute" setting. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, add chicken to pot, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot.
• Add scallion pieces, garlic, chiles, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and bay leaves to pot. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and 1/4 cup water; nestle chicken into rice. Secure lid of multicooker.
• Switch to "Pressure Cook" setting, adjust pressure to high, and set timer for 8 minutes. Once cycle is complete, allow pressure valve to release naturally. Once all steam has been released, carefully remove lid. Discard bay leaves. A thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken (near but not touching bones) should register 165 degrees. Serve chicken over rice and top with thinly sliced, green scallions.

• Pour in the soy sauce and vinegar and deglaze the bottom of the insert. Then add the remaining ingredients.
• Cover the Instant Pot, seal, and set to manual pressure/ high pressure for 13 minutes.
• Once done, allow for a 10-minute natural pressure release, then perform a quick pressure release.
• Open the lid, remove the chicken, and place it skin side up in an oven-proof dish. Broil for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
• While the chicken broils, select sauté on the Instant Pot and cook the sauce until it thickens.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN ADOBO AND RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the chicken and sauce ingredients in the pressure cooker. Stir or use your hands to evenly coat the chicken pieces in the sauce. Nestle a raised steam rack in with the chicken pieces, making sure all of its legs are touching the bottom of the pot.
• Rinse the rice: Rinse the rice in a wire mesh strainer, let it drain for a minute or so, then combine it with the 1 1/2 cups of water in a small (1 ½-quart) stainless steel mixing bowl. Place the bowl of rice and water on top of the steam rack in the pot. It should just fit inside the pot, so it will not touch the lid when the pot is closed.
• Cook the chicken and rice. Place the lid on the pressure cooker. Make sure the pressure regulator is set to the "Sealing" position. If you are using an Instant Pot, select the "Poultry" or "Manual" program, then adjust the time to 15 minutes. If your pressure cooker does not have a "Poultry" program, set it manually to "High Pressure" for 15 minutes. For stovetop pressure cookers, cook for 12 minutes at high pressure. It will take about 20 minutes for your pressure cooker to come up to pressure, and then the actual cooking will begin. Total time from the time you seal the pressure cooker to the finished dish is about 45 minutes (including a 10-minute natural pressure release).
• Release the pressure: When the cooking program ends, let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes, then perform a quick pressure release by moving the pressure release knob from "Sealing" to "Venting."
• Fluff the rice: Wearing a pair of heat-proof mitts, remove the bowl of rice and the steam rack from the pot. Fluff the rice with a fork.
• Check the temperature of the chicken: Use an instant read thermometer to take the temperature of a piece of chicken at its thickest part. It should read at least 165ºF. If the chicken isn't 165ºF yet, reset the pressure cooker and select the "Poultry" or "Manual" setting for another minute or two. It will take much less time to come up to pressure the second time since the food is already hot.
• Finish the sauce and serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving dish. If you'd like, you can reduce the sauce to concentrate the flavor using your pressure cooker's "Sauté" setting for 15 minutes. Strain the sauce to catch the bay leaves, peppercorns, and any bones that might have fallen from the chicken. If you prefer a less fatty sauce, use a fat separator to separate the sauce and the fat, or wait for the fat to float to the top and then skim it off. Drizzle some of the sauce over the chicken and serve the rest alongside.
