instantpot-chickenwingsbbqsauceSuper Easy to make finger-licking smacking delicious Last Minute Instant Pot Chicken Wings. 2-Ingredient, caramelized juicy pressure cooker barbecue wings ready for your party in just 35 minutes.

2 lbs chicken wings and drumettes
½ cup barbecue sauce (125 mL)

Pressure Cook Chicken Wings:
Pour 1 cup (250 mL) cold water in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Place a steamer basket in Instant Pot, then add chicken wings and drumettes in the steamer basket. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes + Full Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.

Preheat Airfryer:
While Instant Pot is naturally releasing, dial airfryer to 400°F and set the timer to 10 minutes.

If Using Oven:
While Instant Pot is naturally releasing, preheat oven to 450°F.

Pat Dry Chicken Wings:
Remove wings and drumettes from Instant Pot. Pat them really dry with paper towels.

Apply Sauce and Place in Airfryer:
In a large mixing bowl, toss wings and drumettes with ½ cup (125 mL) barbecue sauce. Add chicken wings and drumettes in the airfryer basket. Airfry until sauce is glossy and caramelized (5-10 minutes). After 2-3 minutes, take out the airfryer basket, then give it a toss to make sure the chicken wings brown evenly.

If Using Oven:
Place chicken wings and drumettes in a single layer on a wire rack in a baking tray. Bake until the sauce is glossy and caramelize (8-15 minutes).

Makes 4 servings.
