poultry essentials: instant pot to skillet wings
Put these together on one of my all-nighters (last night). This is not so much about the seasoning, but the method. Using a combination of your pressure cooker/Instant Pot and a skillet, you can have crispy wings on the table in about 30 quick minutes. Oh, and frozen or thawed does not make a whit’s difference. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make poultry essentials: instant pot to skillet wings
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2You will need an Instant Pot/pressure cooker and a good-sized skillet to make this recipe.
-
Step 3Parts is Parts and Pieces is Pieces :-) The three parts of a chicken wing are the drumette, the wingette, and the wing tip. I usually separate the three parts and freeze the wing tips, when you have enough, use them to make stocks and soups… Brilliant. So, when I say 12 chicken wings, I am actually using six whole wings and by cutting them apart produce 12 pieces. In most cases I would consider that a serving for one person.
-
Step 4Serving Sauces Everyone has their own favorite dipping or tossing sauce for chicken wings. Some can be complicated or as simple as a bowl of ranch dressing. For this recipe, I tossed the wings with some hot sauce (I prefer Frank’s), a sprinkle or two of salt, and served them as is. Nothing like eating chicken wings at four in the morning. I call that livin’ large.
-
Step 5Oil & Butter I like to use grapeseed oil for its high smoke point, but any non-flavored oil will work just fine. As for butter, use the sweet, unsalted variety.
-
Step 6Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
Step 7Place the wings (frozen or thawed) into the Instant Pot/pressure cooker, along with the stock and water.
-
Step 8Cover and set to high. • Frozen 10 minutes. • Thawed 8 minutes. Allow a cooldown of 5 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
-
Step 9Place the wings on a paper towel, then discard the liquid in the pot.
-
Step 10Add a glug of oil and about a tablespoon or so of butter into a pan over medium-high heat.
-
Step 11Add the wings and let them sit in the hot pan for about 1 – 2 minutes.
-
Step 12Then start tossing them in the pan, I like to add a bit of hot sauce while they are crisping, but that is up to you.
-
Step 13Keep tossing until the wings begin crisping, about an additional 5 – 7 minutes.
-
Step 14PLATE/PRESENT
-
Step 15Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or eat just as is. Enjoy.
-
Step 16Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
