Author: D. Durand Worthey

Ingredients

  • 1-2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt or Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon chili lime seasoning
  • 1 /2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, freshly cracked black peppercorns, Old Bay seasoning, and chili lime seasoning.
  • Trim, rinse, and pat dry the chicken wings. Lay the chicken wings on a sheet pan and using half of the seasoning, coat with the seasoning mixture coat the top and bottom of the chicken wings.
  • Arrange the chicken wings on the Instant Pot steamer rack trivet or in a stackable steamer, select the Chicken option cook with-pressure.
  • Adjust the time to four minutes.
  • As the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to high-broil, and into a bowl combine your favorite barbecue sauce, with light brown sugar, and honey. Mix thoroughly.
  • When the chicken is finished, vent the Instant Pot, then remove the lid. Place parchment paper on a sheet pan. Arrange the chicken wings in even rows, sprinkle the chicken wings with the remaining seasoning (or add as little or as much as you want). Place the sheet pan on the center rack and broil until the chicken is golden brown, watch the wings closely because under a high broil the wings will quickly brown. 
  • Remove the chicken wings and brush with the barbecue sauce mixture.
  • Serve with corn on the cob and homemade fries. (or other items that may go great with chicken wings)
