    Those mitts are known as clam shells. An apt name I think especially from being on the coast of Maine where I was born and raised. I'm going to get an accessory set from Amazon that is supposed to be Universal because I don't have an instant pot I have another brand and I haven't used it yet! I'm disabled and quite handicapped with my hands so it's perfect for me along with my Waffle iron until I get some lighter pots and pans. But the three things I would rely on most of my crockpot the waffle iron and my pressure cooker. I think I might have tossed some green beans in with the potatoes just a thought. 🙂

    Okay, I just finished watching. So what did you do with the gravy at least cut open the chicken and let us see inside, let us see that it's cooked through show us the gravy. I mean, I don't understand the point of you showing us the cornstarch whisked into a gravy and not show us the end result.

    I'm 3/4 the way through it this video, looks really good but a lot of people don't have a Crock-Pot as advanced as yours is. Many of us just have a regular old crock pot. Do you have a regular old crock pot at least 10 or 15 years old that maybe you can make a recipe on that for those of us who don't have the advanced type? You know !!!! A NON DIGITAL ONE LOL !!! Just a LOW/HIGH ONE

    For all those who are thinking of trying this, and don't have everything, I just made this dish. It came out great!

    – I mixed the spices separately, but didn't add pepper (not a fan). I put 8 thighs into a gallon sized, ziplock bag, poured in the spices, and shook until all of the pieces were evenly covered

    – I quartered the potatoes and lightly salted.

    – I cooked the chicken as directed, and removed.

    – I added the chicken stock and de-glazed the pan. Then I added the potatoes (and butter) to the bottom, and placed the stock trivet on top.

    – Then, I added the chicken and closed it up. While it was cooking, I roasted some vegetables.

    Everything turned out great! You don't have to have the other trivet, or steamer pan (but, they would be nice. I'll look for one, but I won't let not having one stop me from making this dish again).

    Thanks Sandy! This recipe is a keeper.

    Just found your videos. First, our instant pot does not have a “poultry” button. We’re trying manual, steam, 14min., with natural release. We don’t have the trivit with legs either. We just put potatoes in, stock trivit on top of taters, then put thighs and some broccoli, in steamer, on top of trivit. I’ll let you know how everything tastes in about 30 minutes or so. Thanks for sharing. Great voice, and agree, don’t need faces, “just show me the settings, and the pot!”

    Thank you for making this simple dish. I was looking for something exactly like this. I wished to see how your gravy look like but it's okay. I usually make gravy with just butter, then flour, then broth so I think I will try the corn starch next time.

    Could I substitute dry 12-15min egg noodles for the potatoes? I wonder if it might burn or noodles would be over done? There is a learning curve to this. Thanks your videos are so helpful:) I watched your chicken and noodles video, buy I'm looking for a simple boiled noodle with the chicken over it w/o gravy.

    That look's really great, ordering the steamer basket, the only thing I would tweek is the red potatoes, only because the broth looked red, but it's a great recipe, I will make it with white potatoes, and the gravy, I like the idea of seasoning the under skin, great idea tks

    Can we assume that you used regular Olive Oil, and NOT EVOO (extra virgin) ???.. as the EVOO has too low a smoke-point while the regular OO has a much higher smoke point. EVOO is best used for flavoring, drizzling on salads and other cooked foods. For sautéing I much prefer using Canola Oil…..

    Made this tonight for dinner. Thank you for the recipe. It was delicious. I didn't have tall enough trivet to put over the potatoes so I made three foil balls and then placed the one that came with my instant pot. Then just set chicken on top. Wonderfully easy. Thanks again

    Thanls so much for this idea. You made a great video. I made a variation of this recipe and my family really enjoyed it! I added a few carrots along with the potatoes and I cooked the chicken directly on the veggies (no steamer basket yet). Although the chicken was not very crispy it was still very good. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.

    Is there a reason why I only see people using the red potatoes in the Instant Pot? I have yet to see anyone using a plain russet potato……………do they get too mushy in there, or??
