Peking Chicken


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin and extra fat removed
  • 1 shallot, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/4 cup gluten free tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger (about the size of your thumb)
  • 3 Tbsp white wine
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • Green onions or chives for topping

Instructions

  1. Grate the shallot, garlic, and ginger into a small bowl
  2. Zest the lemon into the same bowl, then add the lemon juice
  3. Add the tamari sauce, honey, oil, wine, and white pepper, stirring until combined
  4. Place the chicken thighs into the pressure cooker – layering them with the marinade
  5. Allow the chicken to sit in the marinade for at least 1/2 hour
  6. Close up the pressure cooker, set to 12 minutes on high

  8. Remove meat to a plate and cover
  9. Strain the marinade, then bring to a boil (either in a sauce pan or in the cooker set to “brown”)
