Instant Pot Tuscany Chicken Drumsticks & Pasta

This was so easy to make and SO good!!!!! It's literally just 15m in an instant pot with chicken drumsticks, sliced red onion, garlic cloves, diced canned tomato, thyme, balsamic, honey, olive oil and lemon zest. Some red pepper flakes thrown in and this recipe is 🔥🔥🔥. I combined it with rotini tossed in a garlicky lemony sauce which was super easy to make too 🤌 this recipe is meant for a smaller instant pot, feel free to go nuts and double the recipe if you have a big one ✌️
