Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Wings

Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Wings

I recently received an Instant Pot in the mail and have been testing some recipes with it. I made these Chicken Wings with Backyard BBQ seasoning rub with the Instant Pot 7-in-1 Multi-Functional 6 Quart Pressure Cooker. They were delicious and made so quickly. What’s nice about the Instant Pot is that if you are having a busy night and forget to thaw out the chicken you can still cook from frozen by adding a few more minutes to the cook time. Or if you have guests arriving soon and need to whip something up quickly these would be a hit for an appetizer with a side of celery, blue cheese, and ranch.

I have more recipes that I am trying out so be sure to stay tuned for them! If you have any suggestions of what you would like me to make, tell me in the comments section.

If you want to add more BBQ flavoring you can baste it with BBQ sauce before you place it in the oven or you can dip the wings in BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
