Replace step 2: cook the chicken thighs with spices under high pressure for 12 minutes, then let them air dry for 10 minutes; this reduces the cooking time by over 20 minutes, resulting in tender meat and eliminating the need for constant monitoring. The radishes in step 3 should still be cooked with the lid open for 8 minutes.
