    I just got the instant pot and my first time using it. I adjusted the sauce to our taste, not so much franks… but its so good!

    I made this last night for my new year’s party and it was a hit. Eight pounds of wings gone in an hour. This was my second time using the instant pot. I am not a cook at all, so I just bought the pre-made buffalo sauce and that made it even easier.

    Came out perfectly..actually left them in the oven a bit longer for more crispier wings..sprinkled lemon pepper on them before going into the oven. Maybe 10 mins per side.

    Followed the recipe, turned out easy and DELICIOUS!! Will add a little more hot sauce next time, though.

    They are looking choice, but I had to add 10 per side to the broil-repeat section, at altitude- with oven set at Broil Hi. I recommend using this sauce as a base and adding Sweet Baby Rayd or Buffalo Wild Wings sauces, for center stage.

    Even w/ some adjustments, Jill has a crazy good recipe going here. Fun- wanted to follow verbatim, but had to make few altitude and sauce changes (mine was watery for me) but they turned out incredible!

    As a new user of Instant Pot I was skeptical about how tender the wings would be with the recipe being so quick and easy. They came out perfect! I used 1 cup of water for the pressure cooker part and was blessed with 2 cups of stock that I used for “fried” rice.

    Hi Shelly,

    Using frozen wings will alter the cooking time needed.

    If the wings are raised out of the cooking liquid they will need signicantly more added time then if they were submerged.

    Submerged frozen meat may defrost during the preheating cycle.

    Hi Wkerlin,

    That sounds like a good estimate. Always ensure it is fully cooked by using a meat thermometer.

    Hi franco.carolina10,

    When turning the oven on broil, it is typically preset to high.

    Made these tonight. Followed the directions, this was my first IP cook, i was amazed how done the wings were after just 5 minutes, plus 5 minutes NPR. Did 3 cycles under the broilerwith the last cycle being the tops for 10 minutes. My wife even ate 2 wings!! Thats Huge!

    Hi Richard717,

    Awesome! That is always a great feeling! This time 2 but maybe a pound next wing night?

    Wings are great and quick in the Instant Pot which is great if you host a game night.
