These Instant Pot chicken wings are quick and easy. Just 10 minutes cook time in the pressure cooker and a quick broil and they’re ready to eat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds chicken drumettes (or wings)
  • 1 1/4 cups hot sauce (divided; I like Texas Pete’s)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken stock (or water)
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • Dash Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. If the wings are whole, snip off and discard the wing tips. Cut them at the joint to make a drumette and a flat.
  2. Put the wings in a food storage bag; toss them with 1/4 cup of hot sauce, the salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  3. Add the stock or water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place a footed trivet in the pot. Put the seasoned wings on the trivet.
  4. Put the lid on the pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Choose the pressure cook setting, high pressure, and set the time for 10 minutes.
  5. When the time is up, allow the pressure to come down for 5 minutes and then carefully turn the valve to the venting position.
  6. While the wings cook, put the remaining 1 cup of hot sauce in a saucepan with the butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook over medium-low heat until the mixture is hot and the butter is melted.
  7. Remove the wings to a large bowl and toss them with about 1/3 cup of the hot sauce mixture.
  8. Preheat the broiler.
  9. Line a large rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan with foil and place a rack in the pan.
  10. Arrange the wings on the rack and broil for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  11. Brush the wings with more of the sauce mixture and serve any remaining sauce in individual ramekins.
