1 tablespoon yellow mustard (can use 1 teaspoon mustard powder plus 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar)
1/4 cup maple syrup

6 chicken legs

Place olive oil in IP and select the saute setting.
When the oil is hot, add the chicken legs and brown on each side, about 1 minute per side.
Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat and whisk together. Cook for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Pour the homemade apple maple sauce over the chicken legs and turn off the saute setting.
Secure the IP lid and select "meat/stew" for 5 minutes.

If using frozen chicken legs, skip the sautee step and increase cooking by 5 minutes.
