Ingredients:

– 2 pounds chicken wings

– 1 cup chicken broth

– 1/2 cup hot sauce (your favorite brand)

– 1/2 cup honey

– 1/4 cup soy sauce

– 2 tablespoons garlic powder

– 2 tablespoons onion powder

– 1 tablespoon paprika

– 1 tablespoon brown sugar

– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken wings: Start by patting the wings dry with a paper towel and trimming off any excess skin or fat. If desired, split the wings into drumettes and flats.

2. Combine the sauces and dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the wings: Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or mixing bowl. Pour about half of the sauce mixture over the wings—reserving some sauce for later—and toss them to coat evenly.

4. Pressure cook: Pour the chicken broth into your Instant Pot and place a trivet inside to hold up the chicken wings above the liquid. Arrange your seasoned chicken wings on top of the trivet in a single layer (or as close to this as possible). Secure your Instant Pot’s lid and set it to Pressure Cook on high for 8 minutes.

5. Release pressure: After the cooking time is up, perform a quick release of the pressure. This should take around 2-3 minutes. Remove the wings from the Instant Pot and allow them to cool slightly on a cooling rack or plate.

6. Optional broiling step: If you prefer crispy wings, preheat your oven’s broiler. Arrange your cooked wings on a foil-lined baking sheet, and brush them with the remaining sauce mixture. Broil the wings for 3-5 minutes, turning halfway through, until they reach your desired level of crispiness.

7. Serve: Once your wings are cooked to perfection, place them on a serving platter and drizzle any remaining sauce over them. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like blue cheese or ranch dressing.

This easy Instant Pot wings recipe offers a quick and convenient way to make delicious chicken wings without the hassle of deep-frying.
