Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10 chicken wings 10 wingettes and 10 drumettes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Buffalo sauce

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup hot sauce such as Frank's hot sauce
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce optional
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Prepre the chicken wings and pat dry with kitchen towels. Put in a large bowl, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper and salt. Make sure that the wings are evenly and well coated with the seasoning.
  • Place a trivet in the Instant Pot, and add ½ cup of water to the bottom. Then add the seasoned wings. Cover with the lid, and make sure that the vent/valve is in sealing position.
  • Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. When the cooking is finished, quickly release the steam, take out the chicken wings and put in a bowl.
  • To make the buffalo sauce: In a small bowl, whisk all of the sauce ingredients until well combined. Mix in BBQ sauce if using.
  • Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken wings (save some to brush over the wings after broiling if you like). Give them a good toss until the wings are well coated.
  • Arrange on a sheet pan, and broil for 4 minutes on each side. Brush over more buffalo/BBQ sauce if desired.
