This pressure cooker chicken wings recipe is delightful and delicious. The pressure cooker cooks them quickly and the broiler crisps them up nicely so they can be on your table in no time!
#AD Cosori Brand gifted me this pressure cooker in exchange for an honest review. The words and opinions expressed are mine alone.
I love getting free items in the mail! The Premium Cosori 6-Quart Pressure Cooker I use for this recipe and review in this post came carefully packed in its own box, securely packed inside a sturdy brown shipping box.

The photo below shows the beautiful Cosori pressure cooker and the pretty blue box it came in. Please visit Cosori’s website to read and learn more about their fabulous products and recipes.
However, this box didn’t just come with a pressure cooker inside! Oh no! Check out the contents pictured below.
On the left, we have the manual, a recipe booklet and a welcome booklet. On the right, these six treasures:
- Extra sealing ring
- Measuring cup
- Metal insert for steaming
- Water collecting cup
- Plastic ladle
- Plastic rice spoon
Helpful tips
- Depending on how full the cooker is, it takes around 10 – 15 minutes to come to full cooking pressure. (Similar to preheating your oven, you’ll need to factor this into your prep time.)
- You can either wait for the pressure to release naturally or you can do a quick release. Here’s how: don an oven mitt and carefully nudge the venting valve to the venting position.
How to make these chicken wings
Step one
Gather the ingredients – chicken wings, chicken broth and the ingredients for the marinade sauce. (A)
Step two
Press the sauté button and let it heat for a few minutes. Add 3 tablespoon of broth and the chicken wings.
Sauté for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes.
Make the marinade while the chicken is cooking. See recipe card.
Step three
Press the off button, remove the wings from the pressure cooker and place them on a plate. (C) You can also see the marinade in the background.
Step four
Add ¾ cup of broth in the pressure cooker and place a steamer insert inside.
Add the partially cooked chicken wings on the insert. (D)
Step five
Seal the lid, making sure the venting valve is in the lock position.
Press the manual button (or pressure cook button) and set the timer to 10 minutes.
Step six
Get out a large baking dish and put the chicken wings in it. Pour the marinade and toss the wings to coat.
Turn your oven broiler on high.
Step seven
Place the baking dish directly under the broiler and set the timer for 3 minutes.
Pull the chicken wings out and flip them over and place them back under the broiler for 2 minutes. I do that one more time so they get nice and crispy.
Plate the wings and pour the marinade in a little dipping bowl.
See how crispy the wings got?
I grab a wing and dip it in the delicious marinade.
I lift that mouth-watering wing to chomp on it!
I love this recipe for pressure cooker chicken wings because they’re so deliciously crispy and because they’re so easily and quickly prepared for your hungry hordes.

Pressure Cooker Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 3.5 pounds chicken wings approx 28 wings
- ¾ cup chicken broth
Marinade
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
Instructions
- Plug in pressure cooker and press sauté button. Add ¼ chicken broth once it has heated up
- Add chicken and sauté for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove chicken and place it on a plate and set it aside
- Add ¾ cup chicken broth and place metal insert in pressure cooker. Pile the partially cooked chicken on metal insert. Seal pressure cooker and make sure the venting knob is in the lock position
- Press the ‘manual’ button, next press the adjust button and lower the time to 10 minutes. Note: it will take 13 – 15 minutes to come to pressure before it will start the count down and start cooking
- You can either let the pressure release naturally which will take an additional 10 minutes or carefully quick release the pressure like I do. Make sure to wear a oven mitt so you don’t get burned by the steam
- Unseal pressure cooker lid and remove chicken wings and place them in a baking dish
- Anytime during the cooking of the chicken wings, you can make the marinade. Place soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder and basil in a mixing bowl and whisk the ingredients until they are combined
- Pour marinade on the chicken and set the oven to broil (high). As you are waiting for the oven to heat up, flip the wings in the marinade a few times
- Stick the baking dish under the broiler for 3 minutes, remove from oven and flip the wings, broil for 2 minutes. Remove and flip the wings one more time and broil for another 2 minutes until crispy on all sides
- Plate chicken wings and pour marinade in a little dipping bowl
- Pick up a wing, dip it in the marinade and eat
- Enjoy
Notes
- Depending on how full the cooker is, it takes around 10 – 15 minutes to come to full cooking pressure. (Similar to preheating your oven, you’ll need to factor this into your prep time.)
- You can either wait for the pressure to release naturally or you can do a quick release. Here’s how: don an oven mitt and carefully nudge the venting valve to the venting position.

Thank you Tara!! I love wings too and thankfully hubby does as well!
Vicky
I have made lots of things in my pressure cooker, but never wings before. This recipe looks delicious and easy and I can’t wait to try wings with this yummy marinade in my pressure cooker.
Tina Dawson
Pressure cookers are changing the way the world cooks! While it was a staple in an Indian kitchen for a while now (how else do you cook lentils in the morning and pack it for lunch before 9 a.m.?), I love these sleek new forms they’re taking! Definitely looking into this brand now! Them wings look freaking awesome. I may even weep!
Elaine
Lol Tina! And wow, yes, you would need one in India! My mom had the old clunky one with the floating venting thing. I much prefer the modern ones!! Thank you for your comment!
Catherine Brown
I’ve actually never owned a pressure cooker before…. perhaps it’s time. This one looks fantastic!
Elaine
You simply must Catherine!! It makes life so easy!

Healthy World Cuisine
Was drooling on your photo on instagram so came on over to check out the recipe. Oh my word these look finger licking good. We are on the look out for a pressure cooker but have not made a decision on one yet. Pinned!
Elaine
Thanks so much! You are so sweet!! 🙂
carissa
I know it’s weird but I don’t have a pressure cooker but I know I desperately need to get one ASAP! Your chicken looks freaking amazing!! and I can totally see myself now dipping my fingers in that marinade and licking them lol
Elaine
Thanks Carissa! I have to admit that I was happy hubby and I were the only ones eating these so I could double dip! Hehe!
Dems Banjo
Wow. I did not know you could do this in a pressure cooker.
Elaine
I adore pressure cookers Dems!! Now to find a way to crisp them up in one, so I don’t have to use the broiler!

prasanna hede
I had never thought of making wings in pressure cooker,wonderful idea.Loved the marinade too.
Elaine
Thanks so much Prasanna!
Kim @ Berly's Kitchen
Your wings sound delicious, and I can think of a hundred uses for that marinade. Pressure cooker wings can be tricky if they aren’t done right, but you’ve got it down pat! These are something we’d definitely eat. The Cosori brand pressure cooker sounds like it functions much like an Instant Pot. I love how you laid everything out in the photos and explained the features so clearly. It’s awesome that you got a free one. 🙂
Elaine
Thanks so much Kim! I really enjoyed making these wings. I just have to figure out a way to crisp them in a pressure cooker. Not sure that’s possible though. And this marinade is so good! It’s one of my go-to marinades! 🙂
Christopher
Hooray for crispy wings! And the sooner the better so hooray for pressure cooker crispy wings!
Elaine
Hehe. I have to master it Christopher, then we’ll be sitting pretty!
Kathryn @ FoodieGirlChicago
Such a good idea to make wings in a pressure cooker! The marinade sounds fabulous – I may have to use it on some grilled chicken tonight!! 🙂
Elaine
Thanks Kathryn! The marinade is so good!
Jordan
I’m still getting the hang of using our pressure cooker and I’ll be honest, it’s a little intimidating! I haven’t tried cooking any meat yet so this is gonna be on the menu ASAP.
Elaine
I know exactly what you mean Jordan! That’s how I felt and then once I saw how easy it was, I wondered why I hadn’t plunged into making meat sooner!
Karyl Henry
I’m kind of obsessed with chicken wing recipes these days…but I’ve never thought of doing them in a pressure cooker! What a genius idea. I love my pressure cooker, but only use it for a few things. Now I can add chicken wings to that list
Elaine
Yay! Thanks Karyl! I love my pressure cooker too!
Sara
I haven’t had wings in a long time. These look really good and I love how easy the recipe is. I have really been wanting a pressure cooker, recipes like this are encouraging me to get one!
Lorie
I have held off on a pressure cooker for a long time because that means I need to find a place to store another tool in the kitchen. Buuuut this recipe might sway my hubby to buy me one!
Amanda Mason
I think this is similar to my Instant Pot! I’ve never heard of this brand of pressure cooker before but sounds like a great quality pressure cooker! I’m so making this recipe for sure! Looks absolutely amazing…love the ingredients in your marinade!! Perfect for an appetizer!
Jyothi (Jo)
Oh my gosh! I cant take my eyes off those delicious chicken wings! They looks absolutely delicious, I have to pin it to try for later! Thank you for sharing this recipe
Viv
I would love to try it, but do you have any advice if the wings are frozen? I would greatly appreciate your input!
Elaine
Viv, from what I understand, if your wings are frozen it will just take extra time for the pressure cooker/Instant pot to come to pressure but the cooking time is the same. You will be using the broiler to crisp up the skin, so I’m sure they will be done. I have never done it with frozen wings, so please let me know how it came out? You can always add time after you open the IP to look at the chicken. I don’t think you will have to though.
