Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 lbs. chicken wings, (6 full wings, cut in half at the joint, tips removed)
  • 2 6 oz cans pineapple juice, 1/4 cup separated
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

More Traditional Buffalo Wings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder, initial rub
  • 1 tsp onion powder, initial rub
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, initial rub
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Frank's hot sauce

Instructions

  • Mix cumin, paprika and coriander in a large bowl, add the chicken wings and toss to coat. 
  • Place the steaming rack into the electric pressure cooker, add all but 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice, then place the seasoned wings into the cooker. Select manual or steam, high pressure for 10 minutes. Once done, wait 5 minutes, then carefully depressurize the pot. (Use 1 1/2 cups water in the pressure cooker for traditional Buffalo wings).
  • While the wings cook, rinse out the large bowl used for the spices and mix together the chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, honey, dijon, and reserved pineapple juice. 
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, coat with cooking spray, and turn on oven broiler. Place the rack 4 or 5 inches under the element.
  • Place the wings into the bowl with the sauce and toss to coat. Place the wings on the lined baking sheet and use a spoon to add a little more of the sauce to each wing. Broil for 4 minutes, remove from the oven to turn and spoon more of the sauce on each piece. Place back under the broiler for 4 minutes. 
  • Serve with your prefered sauce. (Ranch or blue cheese dressing come to mind).

Notes

  1. Recipe from "Instant Pot electric pressure cooker cookbook", by Sara Quessenberry and Kate Merker
  2. If using the Frank's hot sauce, melt the butter on the stovetop on low temperature then stir in the Frank's hot sauce. Place the cooked wings in a bowl with 1/2 of the Frank's and butter. Toss to coat. Proceed to place them under the broiler as described in the instructions. Once done, put the wings back into the bowl and add the remainder of the hot sauce and toss to coat.
