  • Combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, and sriracha sauce in a bowl; mix well and set aside.
  • Place chicken pieces in a large bowl, add cornstarch, and toss to combine.

Transfer chicken to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken. Pour chicken broth into the empty Instant Pot® and cook for 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pot. Turn Instant Pot® off. Return chicken to the pot and pour honey mixture on top. Stir to coat with sauce.
