Pressure Cooker Asian Ginger Sticky Chicken Wings (or Thighs or Legs)
My Honey Bourbon Chicken Wings were such a big hit, I decided to make an Asian Inspired Chicken Wing in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker! Friday nights in my house is Chicken Wing night, so we have been creating flavors of wings.
We mostly enjoy the Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings and I have a Pressure Cooker Buffalo Hot Wings recipe too, which is very popular.
Sweet/Black Soy Sauce, Chili Paste, Honey and a touch of Three Crabs Fish Sauce, take these wings over the edge.
Whisk up the ingredients well.
After you have cut the wings with Kitchen Shears into two parts (or you can leave them in one piece if you like), make sure to remove any features and pat dry. Pop the wings into the Pressure Cooker.
Pour the sauce over the wings and you are good to go.
Little time under the broiler and you have nicely crisped wings. I like to use a Cookie Sheet and a reusable Silicone Baking Mat rather than foil to save on my Carbon Foot Print.
If you have an Air Fryer, pop them in there and cook for about 10 minutes, shaking once. Brush with some sauce and there you have it.
Garnish with chopped chives for some color. Serve with Mashed Potatoes with Glistening Sauce. For other wing varieties, try my Honey Bourbon Chicken Wings, Honey Garlic Wings or one of my Air Fryer Chicken Wing Recipes.

Can mollasses be used instead of the black soy sauce? I have not been able to find the black soy
I’ve been sautéing the sauce in the IP for a long time now and it’s not getting thicker. Is it supposed to be really runny? I also tried increasing the heat to the normal level and while it’s bubbling it’s definitely not thickening. Did you add any cornstarch or anything?
Can you double the recipe?
Yes, Suree. Jill
I love your recipes and stalk you on the regular! I received the IP duo 8 quart for Christmas. I was wondering if you had a suggestion to make this lower Sugar/ carb for a diabetic on the struggle bus with Weight Watchers?
Hi Kathy. There are many sugar substitutes on the market. Let me know how you do. Jill
Made this last night, didn’t have the black soy sauce, just added an extra tbsp of soy sauce. It came out fabulous, the sauce thickened up nicely while I broiled the chicken!
Should there be any change in the pressure length if you use boneless thighs or chicken breast tenders?
How much scallions?
Just a couple of them. Jill
My husband absolutely loved these.
I’m not able to click 5 stars. Don’t know why.
Yes, under the broiler or you can put them in an air fryer instead.
