Why Use Instant Pot for your Breaded Chicken Wing Sections?
This recipe is chicken wings cut into sections and then breaded. The beauty of using an Instant Pot to cook them is that the pressure cooker keeps the breading crispy, while the meat remains juicy.
You can use Instant Pot to cook chicken wings in two ways: with or without the bone. For this recipe, we’ve used chicken wing sections that still have the bone attached. We find that cooking chicken wings with the bone add more flavor and juiciness to the meat.
How can you get breadcrumbs to stick to chicken wings?
The key to getting breadcrumbs to stick to chicken wings is to use an egg wash. An egg wash is simply a beaten egg that’s used to coat the chicken before breading. The egg will act as glue, helping the breadcrumbs to adhere to the surface of the chicken.
What kind of breadcrumbs can you use?
You can use any type of breadcrumb for this recipe, including store-bought or homemade. We like to make our own because it’s cheaper and we can control the ingredients. This homemade breading mix is a blend of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
But to save time, you can use store-bought breading mix. If so, we recommend using a brand that’s made with whole wheat or panko (or Japanese-style breadcrumbs commonly used for the famous katsu and tonkatsu). For a healthier option, you can also use crushed oats or almond meals.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Instant Pot Breaded Chicken Wing Sections
- Make sure to pat your chicken wings dry using a paper towel before breading them. If they’re wet, the breading won’t stick as well.
- To get evenly coated chicken wings, we recommend using a large resealable bag. Add the chicken wings and breading mix to the bag, seal it and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
- If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can still make this recipe! Just bake the chicken wings in a 400F oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve your Instant Pot Breaded Chicken Wing Sections with your favorite dipping sauce. We like to use a mix of honey and sriracha, but you can also use BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.
Different Dressing Options
- Spicy: 1 part honey + 2 parts sriracha
- Sweet and Spicy: 1 part honey + 1 part sriracha
- Honey BBQ: 1 part BBQ sauce + 2 parts honey
- Buffalo: 1/2 cup hot sauce + 1/4 cup butter + 1 tbsp vinegar
- Ranch: 1/2 cup mayo + 1/4 cup buttermilk + 1 tsp garlic powder + 1 tsp onion powder + 1 tsp dried parsley
- Blue Cheese: 1/2 cup mayo + 1/4 cup sour cream + 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles + 1 tbsp white vinegar
