Equipment

1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

12 - 15 medium chicken wings frozen
3/4 cup water
1 bottle barbecue sauce 20 oz.

Instructions

Pour half the bottle of barbecue sauce into your Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
Put your frozen chicken wings on top of your sauce and pour the remainder of your barbecue sauce on top of them. Then add 3/4 c water into your bbq sauce bottle and shake it well to get remaining sauce out. Pour this on top of your wings (this is an important step).
If you choose to add hot sauce sprinkle on top now.
Close the lid and steam valve. Set to manual, pressure, high for 21 minutes. ** Note, if your wings are much smaller or you're using fewer wings than I did (mine were quite large) it will not take this long (set for 18 min. for 10 wings and perfect)
Do a natural release, lift lid carefully and serve!
If you'd like them crispy put your chicken wings on a baking sheet and under your broiler for 3-4 minutes or until as crispy as you'd like. OR throw into a preheated air fryer at 400 degrees for 3-4 minutes
