Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup of plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons of red chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons of garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon of dried coriander
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • pinch of salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon to cut into quarters and serve along side

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the yogurt and spices together.
  • Add the chicken into the bowl and cover each one generously with the yogurt-spice mixture.
  • Place in the fridge for an hour to allow it to marinate.
  • When ready to cook, place the cooking rack in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Pour about half an inch of water into the pot. Make sure the water isn’t touching the rack.
  • Place the chicken on the cooking rack and set the Instant Pot on Pressure Cook High for 13 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off, let it natural release for 5 minutes.
  • (Optional) For a crispy outer skin, place for 7-10 minutes in the oven. Grease a baking sheet, then lay the chicken pieces on it at 430°F (220°C), until the outer skin turns golden brown.
  • Slice the lemon into quarters and serve along side the chicken drumsticks.
  • Serve while warm.
