Notes
This recipe is part of our 1001 Instant Pot recipes project, a huge collection of free, easy and delicious recipes.
Recipe sounds good, but I just realized that you have missed the salt. How much salt should be added?
With the soy and sriracha sauces, salt does not need to be added.
These are absolutely delicious! I just bought my Instant Pot and started off with the easiest recipe. I couldn’t believe that such an easy recipe could be so delicious. I will be making these again for sure. Perfectly cooked and highly recommended!
Thank you so much, Sherry! You have made my day. These are so easy to cook in the instant pot that I make them quite often for my family.
Can you cook multiple layers of chicken wings or just one layer on the trivet at a time? Can load up the Instant Pot?
Hi Angelic! It should be fine as long as you don’t go past the fill mark. Hope this helps!
can you cook true fried wings with oil in the IP?
No. Check out this article for more information: https://www.corriecooks.com/can-you-deep-fry-using-a-pressure-cooker/
I have a question – If you are using the Air Fryer lid, do you cook the chicken in the IP for ten minutes and then and additional ten minutes at 350 using the AFL?
Thank you – this sounds like a great recipe!
VJ
Yes, that’s exactly right 🙂 I hope you like it!
Can you make these from frozen or do the wings need to be defrosted?
If you use frozen wings, add 2 minutes to the cooking time.
Hi Corrie, just received my Instant Pot Air fryer lid. My first go to will be Chicken Wings. Question: Can I slather the wings with the sauce first then cook them for 10 minutes then use the air fryer lid to crisp up?
Hi Christine! Yes, you could definitely try that. Sounds delicious.
Hi. At what point do you add the cornstarch?
Oh sorry, that should be part of the sauce too, added to the bowl with all of the other ingredients. I will update the recipe.
Corrie 2 things – where is the updated recipe – how much corn starch should be added?? Also, if I wanted to make 2 or 3 dozen do I just add them on top of each other???
Diane
1 tbsp. of cornstarch should be added in the first step. And yes, you can have them stacked in pressure cooker mode, but they should be in a single layer if using the air fryer mode.
Do you take the wings out of the IP and put them in the basket and then air fry or leave them in the sauce?
If you want to finish them with the air fryer lid to crisp them up, take the wings out of the IP and put them in the fryer basket.
