Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe Ingredients:
1 cup water
3 pounds chicken wing pieces
1 cup butter
1 cup hot sauce
2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
1/2tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Blue Cheese Dressing, optional
Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe Directions:
Prepare chicken by washing, and patting dry with paper towels.
Cut chicken at joints.
Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Add one cup of water to the pot.
Add the chicken to the pot.
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the pressure-release valve is closed.
Select Manual and cook on high for 10 minutes.
Quick-release.
While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce:
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and place in the microwave for 10-second intervals until melted.
Add hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and garlic powder to the butter mixture and stir until well blended.
Heat oven to broil with rack about 5 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
Add chicken to the sauce. It is easiest to stir them into the sauce and lift them out with tongs. You may want to pour the sauce in a Ziploc bag and shake the wings to coat.
Arrange cooked wings in a single layer on the baking pan.
Broil the wings for 5-minutes
Remove the wings and add to the remaining sauce you initially used to coat them.
Place the wings back on the baking pan in a single layer.
Broil 5-minutes. They should be lightly browned.
When you remove the wings, I like to coat them one more time with the sauce and serve.
