In a large bowl, add chicken thighs, olive oil, grated garlic, salt, pepper and stir with tongs.
On any size Instant Pot, press Saute and wait until display says Hot (takes 4-5 minutes). During this time chicken will have a chance to marinate.
Add thighs with top side down in a tight single layer and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes. It lets thighs get nice browned top.
Using flat and sturdy spatula, lift chicken almost scraping from the bottom and transfer to a plate. Meat tends to stick to stainless steel pot. You just have to brown one side. Repeat with remaining thighs.
Sprinkle chicken with fresh dill or parsley and serve warm with brown rice, quinoa, potatoes or salad.

How to Cook Frozen Chicken ThighsTo cook frozen bone in or boneless chicken thighs, you have to skip the browning step. We can't brown frozen meat. So, if you are OK with non-browned chicken thighs then you can cook them this way:
Make sure chicken thighs are separated.
Coat them in oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl tossing with tongs. I would recommend to rinse meat under cold water to remove the frost and help seasonings stick better.
