Instructions
- 1
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (high). Add the bacon pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a small bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Pat the chicken pieces dry and season all over with the salt and pepper. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the chicken skin-side down in the bacon fat, undisturbed, for 4–5 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
