No Sweat Barbecue Chicken Wings






This an easy recipe.  It does call for two steps but they are both worth it.  You do not want to end up with half cooked chicken wings or an overdone burnt one just to be sure they are safe to eat.

First you cook the wings in the Instant Pot seasoned with seasoned salt and Weber Kick'N Chikn Seasoning. 



For the second step,  you douse the cooked chicken in the fabulous barbecue sauce and air fry them in batches in your air fryer.  You can use conventional methods for both steps but I wanted to play or watch my grandkids as they frolicked in the inflatable pool during the hot, hot weather last week.  


Here are the ingredients for the bbq sauce.  I ran out of catsup in a bottle so I used the packets of catsup I collected from McDonalds and elsewhere that were tucked in the fridge.

Is it really that good?  My husband ate one fourth of the wings for his lunch.  They were that good.  Plus I did not break into a sweat in any of the steps.


 






No Sweat Barbecue Chicken Wings

Sauce adapted from this blog

1.  Instant Pot Step:
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 x 3 lb frozen chicken wings
  • seasoned salt
  • Weber Kick'N Chikn Seasoning
Place 1 cup water in the Instant Pot bowl.  

Place a steamer or trivet sprayed with cooking spray on top of the water and add the frozen wings in layers on top of the trivet.  

Season each layer of chicken wings on both sides with the seasonings.

Cook at high pressure for 15 minutes and then quick release.

2.  Air Fryer Step:

Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 cup catsup
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1-2 tbsp brown sugar  or stevia
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (skip if serving the wings to children)
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp garlic powder
Preheat the air fryer.  390 degrees Fahrenheit and 10 minute settings.

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl while the air fryer is pre heating..

Place the cooked wings in a large bowl and douse the barbecue sauce all over the wings.

When the air fryer is ready, place the basted wings in one layer as much as possible.  Depending on the size of your air fryer you need to cook them in batches.  I cooked mine in four.
