Quick and Juicy Instant Pot Chicken Wings

 

Craving chicken wings but short on time? The Instant Pot is your secret weapon for tender, juicy wings that are ready in a flash. Whether it’s game day or just a regular Tuesday, this recipe will have you savoring every bite.

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)

 

1 ½ tsp kosher salt

 

½ tsp garlic powder

 

¼ tsp black pepper

 

¾ cup water

 

½ cup BBQ sauce or Buffalo sauce

 

Optional: Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

 

Instructions:

Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.

 

Prepare the Instant Pot: Pour ¾ cup of water into the Instant Pot and place a trivet or steamer basket inside. Arrange the wings on the trivet.

 

Pressure Cook: Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 5 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.

 

Crisp the Wings: Preheat your oven broiler or air fryer to 400°F. Remove the wings from the Instant Pot and pat them dry with paper towels. Toss them in your choice of sauce, then spread them on a baking sheet or place them in the air fryer. Broil or air fry for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy.

 

Serve and Enjoy: Plate the wings with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the perfect balance of tender meat and crispy skin.
