Instant Pot Honey Balsamic Drumsticks

Bored of cooking the same old recipes over and over? These fall off the bone Instant Pot Honey Balsamic Drumsticks are sweet, tangy and delicious. The kind of meal your family will love.

Of course, they don’t have to know that you used the magic pressure cooker to concoct this dish. A handful of ingredients and 3 steps is all it takes to have dinner at the table in no time.

My weekdays are usually very hectic between the kids, work, and the house. By the time we get home from soccer practice, I am tired, my girls are cranky and hungry, and honestly, I don’t want to cook.

Thankfully these Instant Pot recipes are making it easier and easier to please my household by reducing the amount of time, steps, and cleanup needed.

I make a big batch of rice every week and leave it in my fridge. That way, I can reheat it when needed. Those small things help me organize my meals better during the week.

Another great thing about these drumsticks is that they can feed an army. You can double the recipe and the cooking time will be the same. It will simply take the instant pot a bit longer to come up to pressure. Cool huh?

No instant pot? No problem! Bake these in a 375-degree oven for 45 minutes. They will be finger-licking-good!

I hope you can try these delicious Instant Pot Honey Balsamic Drumsticks at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
