Can I Use a Different Cut of Chicken?

We have chosen to use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs for this Keto instant pot recipe. This is a great cut of meat for low carb diets as it is a fattier option and provides the most flavor. However, should you wish to use chicken legs, wings, or breasts, you may. Be sure to adjust your cooking times for your chosen cut of meat.

Can I Bake These in The Air Fryer?

We have used the instant pot to keep this recipe simple and cooking methods minimal. However, these chicken thighs would also work well cooked in an air fryer or oven-baked until crisp and golden; simply coat the chicken with the spices and cook with a touch of oil. If you choose an alternative cooking method, please adjust your cooking times accordingly. As air frying and baking do not require the stock and tomato sauce, this can be used for simmering the rice until tender. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
