Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 1/4 cups hot sauce, e.g., Franks, 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

  • Prep the Wings: If the wings are whole, snip off and discard the wing tips. Cut them at the joint to make a drumette and a flat. Place the wings in a food storage bag and toss them with 1/4 cup of hot sauce, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Pressure Cook: 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. Put the lid on the pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Select the pressure cook setting and high pressure, then set the timer for 10 minutes. When the time is up, allow the pressure to come down for 5 minutes, and then carefully turn the valve to the venting position.
  • Prepare the Sauce: While the wings cook, combine the remaining 1 cup of hot sauce with the butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the mixture is hot and the butter is melted. Combine the wings and 1/3 cup of the sauce in a large bowl; toss to coat.
  • Broil the Wings: Preheat the broiler and line a large, rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan with foil. Place a rack in the pan. Arrange the wings on the rack and broil for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Finish the Dish: Brush the wings with more of the sauce mixture and serve any remaining sauce in individual ramekins.
