Instant Pot Buffalo Wings

Welcome back!

Today, we have a nice and convenient recipe for homemade buffalo wings! These wings are so soft and juicy because of the Instant Pot, and it really isn't hard to make at all. Plus, the cook time is really quite short: the final boil in the oven is only 6-10 minutes. They're honestly so good that you don't even need any more sauce when you're eating them!

Instant Pot Buffalo Wings

Ingredients:

3-4 pounds chicken wings
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
Buffalo sauce (you can even make your own)

Directions:

Season the wings with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In the Instant Pot, pour in 1 cup of water and put in the trivet. Place the wings in vertically.
Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Let it sit for 5 minutes and then release the pressure. Take the wings out.
On a baking pan, put the wings on a piece of parchment paper.
Apply buffalo sauce to all sides of the meat.
In the oven, boil until golden, about 3-5 minutes on each side.

This recipe actually isn't restricted to buffalo wings; you could also use other sauces that you like, like a Korean barbecue flavor (that's a family favorite). However, the classic buffalo wings is still great, and when paired with a real good hot sauce like those from Buffalo Wild Wings, who has a really good assortment of flavors and spicinesses, it's a fast and fun appetizer or meal!
