Add ginger to the Instant Pot, then add the rinsed rice, then place the chicken thighs, skin-side up, then add the chicken broth.
Close the lid. Pressure cook on high for 25 minutes. Allow the steam to release for 10 minutes.
When the congee is done, remove the chicken thighs, pull off the skin and bone, and shred the meat. Set aside.
Whisk the congee for 15 seconds to emulsify and make it silky.
