Pressure Cooker Honey Bourbon Chicken Wings

We love Hot Wings in this house. It’s been a Friday night tradition here for years. Last week, we decided to try something different, something sweet and it was fantastic! Even better is that the wings were cooked in our Pressure Cooker and finished in the Air Fryer!

Sauté Onions and Garlic and add all Ingredients

The onions and garlic get a bit of a sauté and then the rest of the ingredients are added right in the Pressure Cooker cooking pot with the wings.

Five minutes after pressure was reached, I had cooked wings, but not crispy skin, like I love. If the skin is not crispy this girl is not eating. The solution is to carefully remove the wings with tongs and place them in the Air Fryer. Alternatively, you can put them on a 1/2 Cookie Sheet with aReusable Silicone Baking Mat and crisp them up in the oven.

Air Fryer Method

Place Wings into Air Fryer

Using Silicone Coated Tongs, carefully place the wings into the Air Fryer. I adore this Air Fryer because you don’t have to preheat it and your wings will crisp on both sides evenly! Not all Air Fryer are created equal. My picks are the GoWise Air Fryer, which is very reasonable priced and the Phillips Air Fryer, which is about $100 more. Some of the other Air Fryers I have tried, did not impress me, as they required preheating and lots of shaking and flipping of the food.

Crisp up the Wings in the Air Fryer

While the wings are crisping in the Air Fryer, have the sauce thickening in the Pressure Cooker . When the sauce becomes thick, dunk the wings into the sauce and then placed them back into the Air Fryer.

The sauce will caramelize on the wings nicely. Look at the gorgeous color! If you like this recipe, you might want to try my Asian Sticky Chicken Wings or my Buffalo Hot Wings.

Oven Method

Place Chicken Wings on Cookie Sheet

Place a Reusable Silicone Baking Mat onto your Cookie Sheet. Place the Pressure Cooker Honey Bourbon Chicken Wings on the Cookie Sheet sheet in a single level. Crisp them up a bit, while you are tending to your Sauce in the Pressure Cooker.

Brush on Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

While the wings are crisping up in the oven, thicken the sauce in the Pressure Cooker . When the sauce becomes thick, Brush some sauce on the wings and placed them back under the broiler, for about 5 minutes on each side.
