Notes
You can cook up to 12 chicken drumsticks at a time in the Instant Pot without increasing the time.
If you cook the chicken from frozen, add 4 minutes to the cook time.
The skin will not be crispy. If you want to crisp it, broil in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
The drumsticks pictured are coated with our honey sriracha sauce.
