Servings: persons

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
8 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs, fat trimmed
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 (30 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 bay leaf

1
Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl.
2
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and select Saute function. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
3
Dredge 4 chicken thighs in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Saute until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining 4 chicken thighs.
4
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot. Add onion. Cook and stir until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in wine and scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until the wine has almost evaporated. Add tomato sauce; stir in oregano, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf.
5
Return chicken thighs to the pot and turn to coat with sauce. Close and lock the lid. Close the vent. Select Chicken function; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for pressure to build.
6
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
