Who knew you could use an Instant Pot to make chicken wings? Well... we did! And they are absolutely fantastic. Cooking wings in an Instant Pot allows for them to get nice and tender before being crisped to perfection under the broiler. It is a near foolproof method for making finger-licking wings. Maybe only second to air fryer wings.
This recipe is the perfect jumping off point for any of your favorite types of wings. Not a fan of buffalo sauce? Use your favorite barbecue sauce instead! Looking for something a bit more adventurous? Make a batch of sauce from our Korean Fried Chicken recipe and use it to coat your wings. Spice lovers will FLIP. 😍
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container and place in the fridge for 5 days or in the freezer for up to a month. Tried making this wing hack? Let us know how it came out in the comments below!
