How long do you cook chicken wings in an electric pressure cooker?

Thawed chicken wings need just 10 minutes to cook in an electric pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot .

Can you cook frozen chicken wings in Instant Pot?

A general rule of thumb when cooking frozen meat is to add an additional 50% of the time. Since thawed wings need 10 minutes to cook, frozen wings need about 15 minutes in the Instant Pot.

How do I get my Instant Pot chicken wings crispy?

The Instant Pot will cook the chicken wings much more quickly, but you’ll still need to broil them in the oven to get the crispiness you’re looking for. Luckily, that part only takes a few minutes! If you’d rather bake your chicken wings in the oven, follow the step-by-step instructions here .

Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken wings:

3 lbs chicken wings (drumettes or wings, NOT wing tips) (1362
1 ½ cups of water (358g)

For the buffalo sauce:

12 oz hot sauce (I use Frank’s regular hot sauce) (336
¼ cup ketchup (60g)
8 Tbsp butter, unsalted (112g)
2 Tbsp cornstarch (16g)
1 Tbsp water (15g)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

For a 6 quart Instant Pot, pour 1 cup of water in the inner pot. For an 8 quart Instant Pot, pour 1 ½ cups water.
Place the trivet or steamer basket inside the instant Pot, and place your chicken wings either on the trivet, or in the basket. It’s okay if the chicken wings are touching.
Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes (15 minutes for frozen wings).
Meanwhile, make the buffalo wing sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients except the cornstarch and water.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often, until the butter is melted.
Combine the cornstarch and water in a small mug and stir until it is completely dissolved.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and immediately start whisking it into the sauce.
Keep whisking, and the sauce will start to thicken. When the sauce is noticeably thicker (i.e. will heavily coat the back of a spoon), remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
When the timer beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure using the valve.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to broil.
When the wings are done in the Instant Pot, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Place the wings under the broil for 3-4 minutes on each side to crisp up the skin.
Toss in a big bowl with buffalo wing sauce and enjoy!
