Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 T. salt

3/4 tsp. pepper

10-12 chicken drumsticks (I did not measure weight; most were average to large)

~1 T. olive oil (I did not measure, had to actually add a little during second batch)

~1 T. butter (same note as olive oil)

1 c. chicken broth

1 T. cornstarch

1 T. water

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Sprinkle this mixture to coat the chicken drumsticks as evenly as possible.

3. In the pot of the pressure cooker, heat the olive oil and butter together using the sauté function. Once it is heated, brown the chicken (about half of it fits, so you will need 2 batches). Transfer to a plate.

4. Turn off the sauté function. Place the trivet in the cooker, then add the chicken broth. Arrange the chicken atop the trivet (I let the bone/handle end hang down through the trivet for some pieces to let them fit better).

5. Close/lock the cooker and set the valve to "sealing". Set for "poultry" (high) for 10 minutes of pressure. Once it has finished, let the pressure naturally release.

6. Once the pressure releases, transfer cooked chicken to a plate and remove the trivet. Turn on the sauté function.

7. In a small cup, stir together the cornstarch and water. Add this mixture to the sauce in the pot and stir to combine. Let simmer for around 5 minutes, or until desired thickness is achieved.

8. Serve sauce with chicken and enjoy!
