Tips for the Best Instant Pot Chicken Wings
Here are some tips for cooking wings in the Instant Pot so you will get juicy wings every time:
- Place wings in a steamer basket on top of the trivet rather than letting them sit in the liquid in the bottom of the pot. This way the wings won’t touch the water, and won’t be overcooked.
- Pour a cup of water or broth (follow the recipe card!) into the bottom of the instant pot and make sure it’s set to sealing.
- Cook whole wings using high pressure and do a quick release.
- Handle the wings carefully after cooking as they will be fall off the bone tender and may fall apart easily.
Can You Get Crispy Chicken Wings By Pressure Cooking?
The Instant Pot can’t really produce crispy wings on it’s own, as the meat is cooked under the pressure of very hot steam.
In order to get them crispy on the outside, you have to use the broiler or even an Instant Pot Air Fryer lid.
It’s just one easy step, that is totally worth it to achieve that crispy skin you love.
Just place the cooked wings in a single layer on a baking sheet (or in an air fryer basket). Then place under the broiler in the oven (or in your air fryer) for a couple of minutes, or until crisp!
