    I love chicken wings! One of the things I love about this recipe is the wings cook fast and after broiling for a few minutes, they come out crispy and the flavor of the marinade is out of this world.

    I’ve gotten emails from my readers asking me if they could make instant pot chicken wings  instead of using a pressure cooker. Here’s what I’ve explained: the instant pot is a brand of the pressure cooker.

    I’ve also had to explain that the crockpot was the original brand slow cooker. So, if you have a slow cooker, you can make any recipe that is labeled crockpot or slow cooker.

    So whether you have a pressure cooker or instant pot, this recipe is for you!

    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.
    • When it’s time to crisp up the skin, you can either add the chicken to a large baking dish and pour the marinade in with the wings. Or you can also line a large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil before adding the wings and marinade to it.
    • If you want a different marinade or sauce, you can use buffalo chicken sauce or your favorite barbecue sauce.

    How to make pressure cooker 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 rack insert inside the container.

    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), make sure the mode is set to normal and it is on high pressure 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 crispy chicken wings and pour the marinade in a little dipping bowl.

    See how crispy the wingettes got?

    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.

    Author: Elaine Benoit

    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

      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!

      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. 🙂

      I would love to try it, but do you have any advice if the wings are frozen? I would greatly appreciate your input!

        March 26, 2020 at 1:35 pm

        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.
