Instructions
INSTANT POT KETO CHICKEN WINGS
Combine the chicken wings withsalt, garlic, and ginger. Add water to the Instant Pot then set the trivet inplace and lay the chicken wings on top of the trivet. Close the lid, makingsure to set it to seal and pressure cook for 8 minutes.
While the chicken wings arecooking, proceed on to prepare the baking tray and rack. Line a baking traywith foil paper then lay the baking rack on top of it.
Once the cooking time is over,allow the Instant Pot to Naturally Pressure Release (NPR) for at least 5minutes, before doing a Quick Pressure Release (QPR).
When the pressure is completely gone, open the lid of the Instant Pot and use a pair of tongs to remove the chicken wings from the Instant Pot. Divide the chicken wings into 3 equal portions (you can use medium-size dishes for that so you can toss the chicken wings with the sauces to combine).
Make each of the three Ketosauces as per the recipe instructions then combine with each of the chickenwings portions. Transfer them to the previously prepared baking rack, makingsure to space them out. If desired, set aside some sauce for the next step andas a dipping sauce.
Open the oven and place the rack about 4-6 inches from the heat source of the broiler. Broil each side for 3-5 minutes. You can spoon again some of the sauce on top of the chicken wings,before turning.
BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
Combine the hot sauce,butter, paprika powder, red pepper flakes (optional), garlic powder, and saltin a small to medium pot and place over medium heat. Allow to a simmer whilestirring with a whisk. As soon as it begins to bubble, remove from heat, stir,and set aside.
Combine a third of the chicken wings with the buffalo sauce then lay then on a rack to broil (together with the other two portions). Broil each side for about 3-5 minutes, or until the desired level of crisp and brown is achieved then serve. Use any leftover sauce as a dipping sauce.
LEMON PEPPER WINGS
Add the lemon pepper,garlic powder, salt, baking soda, and melted butter to a small to medium bowl.Use a whisk to combine then set aside for use.
Add another third of the chicken wings to the bowl with the lemon pepper seasoning spice mix. Toss to combine then lay them on the baking rack to broil (together with the other two portions). Broil for 3-5 minutes until nicely browned and crispy looking. Remove from the oven then serve.
GARLIC PARMESAN
In a small to medium bowl,combine Parmesan, salt, garlic seasoning powder, chopped parsley, and blackpepper. Stir in the melted butter then use a whisk to combine. Stir in the final third of the chicken wings and toss to combine.
Transfer the chicken wings to the baking rack and broil on each side for 3-5 minutes (together with the other two portions). You can brush some of the sauce on top in between turning. Once properly browned, remove from the oven then serve.
Notes
Nutritional information is based on a third of the chicken wings (since we are dividing them three ways), and the lemon pepper chicken wings only.
Cooking time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.
Short of time? Simply cook the chicken wings in the Instant Pot, divide them into three portions, lay them on the baking rack, and drizzle the sauce on top. Broil for about 5 minutes, turn to the other side then broil again.
You can also cook the chicken wings with the respective sauce or add the seasonings directly in the Instant Pot if making only one type of flavor. This helps save time, plus, you will have fewer dirty dishes. Big yes to that!! The only thing is, the Instant Pot may give you a burn notice in which case you will need to open the Instant Pot, stir, close the lid again, then allow it to further cook.
