Have you made wings in the instant pot yet? The texture of the wings is so so good.I prefer them over baking at the moment, especially because this method makes them more plump and juicy.

I have made my own teriyaki sauce but you can use store bought sauce too.In fact, if you have any other sauce that you like more, then be my guest!Here is my recipe for Instant Pot bbq Chicken Wings.

Why Pressure Cook Wings?

For the longest time,I used to grill the wings.While that is a great option, especially when compared to deep frying the wings, it dries out the wings.
