Description

This Instant Pot Buffalo Wings recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy crispy, spicy chicken wings. Using the Instant Pot to pressure cook the wings ensures they are juicy and tender, while the broiling step crisps the skin to perfection. Tossed in tangy Louisiana Hot Sauce and seasoned with garlic powder, these wings are perfect for game day or any casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 16 chicken wings/flats

Cooking Liquid

  • 1 cup water

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Arrange the frozen chicken wings on top of the trivet to keep them above the water.
  2. Pressure Cook the Wings: Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Select the high pressure cooking mode and set the timer for 10 minutes. Once the cooking is complete, perform a quick release to release the pressure.
  3. Broil the Wings for Crispiness: Transfer the cooked wings onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place under the broiler on low for 15 minutes per side, then increase to high broil for 5 minutes per side. This step crisps the skin; adjust times if less crispiness is desired.
  4. Toss with Sauce and Season: After broiling, toss the wings thoroughly in the Louisiana Hot Sauce and sprinkle with garlic powder to evenly coat. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen wings is convenient and works well with pressure cooking.
  • For less spicy wings, reduce the amount of hot sauce or choose a milder sauce.
  • Make sure to use a trivet or steaming rack inside the Instant Pot to keep wings out of the water.
  • Adjust broiling time based on your preference for crispiness.
  • Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing as traditional accompaniments.
