Cooking Instructions
  1. Pat chicken thighs dry, then rub evenly with olive oil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Select 'Sauté' on the Instant Pot, heat oil, and brown thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add smashed garlic cloves to the pot, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
