These instant pot tandoori chicken wings are most tender wings you’ll ever eat! How does the meat get to be so tender? Steaming the wings is key and makes them nearly fall-off-the-bone! There are three steps to cooking these wings:
You can easily adapt this recipe and change the flavor of the wings!
I like to first cook the wings THEN add sauce right before putting them in the oven to crisp up. The reason for this is so that the coating/sauce doesn’t all melt off the wings and sink to the bottom of the instant pot. That would result in wasted sauce and wasted flavor and that would be sad. This post is really more of a recipe for how to cook chicken wings in an instant pot – because once you follow my method, you can make any flavor you’d like by using a different sauce or spice blend. You don’t want to skip the final roast in the oven – that’ll give you that baked wing crispiness and help the sauce really stick to the wings.
