Win the Game Day appetizer trophy with this super easy, 30 minute, crowd pleasing Instant Pot chicken wings recipe with a tangy gingery BBQ sauce and sriracha mayo. They’re great for any game day or fun hand held dinner.

This post was created in partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market. I have been compensated for my time commitment. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.

I’m excited to announce that I will be working with Sprouts Farmers Market on a series of recipes using their great products. I’m most excited because Sprouts is one of my favorite grocery stores. I do a majority of my shopping there because they have high quality meats, lots of great priced produce, and a big bulk foods section. I have made these recipes using ingredients found at Sprouts: frozen Greek yogurt with tart cherry sauce, and pear & prosciutto flatbread.

I usually go straight for their inexpensive and fresh produce section, but can’t forget to hit the meat section. They’ve got a wide variety of high quality fresh and frozen meats including the chicken wings I used in this recipe. Their chicken wings in particular are always fresh and never frozen; they’re raised in a cage-free environment; and are hatched, raised, and harvested in the US. So not only do I know that I’m getting a delicious package of chicken wings, but I know that they’ve been raised and processed in a way that preserves their natural goodness and have been raised humanely.

If you’re on the lookout for great Game Day eats, huddle up with your local butcher to create the perfect game plan. Choose from a flavorful variety of handcrafted sausages, freshly ground meats and marinated, ready-to-cook meats! Plus, their butchers are happy to share cooking tips and make custom cuts just for you!

See why I love Sprouts?

How will these Instant Pot chicken wings make your life easier?

Game Day appetizers are a big deal in a lot of households, whether you’re serving to discerning palates or not, this tangy BBQ chicken wings recipe is something that will pleasantly surprise your guests, because, without a doubt, it’ll taste much better than any other frozen wing you can heat up.

Here are a couple other really easy game day apps: jalapeno cheddar dip, 10 minute queso, Prosciutto, Pear, and Arugula Flatbread, 3 Ingredient Guacamole, or this peanut butter yogurt dip.

What makes these wings so good?

  • Sprouts brand chicken wings

  • Sriracha 
  • Sesame seeds

How do I make Instant Pot Asian BBQ Chicken Wings?

Asian BBQ Chicken Wings recipe, putting wings in Instant Pot

Pour 1 c water into Instant Pot bowl, then place 2 pounds chicken wings in steamer basket in Instant Pot.

Expert Tip: Using a steamer basket makes for easy removal. it’s my favorite Instant Pot tool.

instant pot settings for Asian BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe

Close Instant Pot lid, and set vent to sealing. Set to Manual, and cook for 10 minutes, at high pressure. It should take about 20 minutes from start to finish.

Expert Tip: Remember it takes about 2x as long to cook in the Instant Pot because it takes time to get up to pressure, and then release pressure at the end.

Once wings are done, turn vent to ‘venting’ and let pressure release, once steam stops, remove lid.

Asian BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe on a baking sheet

Just prior to serving, set oven to broil. Remove chicken wings and place on a lined baking sheet, slather wings with BBQ sauce, and broil for just 2-3 minutes.

Expert Tip: You’re not supposed to broil baking mats (they burn and get ruined). Mine do ok for less than 5 minutes. But use parchment paper to be safe.

While wings are in the oven, mix together 1/4 c mayonnaise and 1+ T sriracha in a dipping bowl, and pour more BBQ sauce into another dipping bowl.

Transfer hot chicken wings from baking sheet to serving bowl, sprinkle with 1 T sesame seeds, enjoy.

Expert Tips

  • Using a steamer basket makes for easy removal. it’s my favorite Instant Pot tool.
  • Remember it takes about 2x as long to cook in the Instant Pot because it takes time to get up to pressure, and then release pressure at the end.
  • Mix wings & BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl for a cleaner baking sheet
  • You’re not supposed to broil baking mats (they burn and get ruined). Mine do ok for less than 5 minutes. But use parchment paper to be safe.

FAQ

What makes a good chicken wing?

Crispy skin! Good chicken wings are crispy and saucy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. This Instant Pot + broiling method perfects the crispy skin, tender meat combo.

What are the best wing sauces?

The best wing sauces are tangy, sweet, and delicious. Buffalo sauce is great, ranch is great, bleu cheese dressing is great, as is this Sprouts BBQ sauce. There are so many options!

  • (sriracha) top this vegetarian hash, microwave egg cup, easy beef bulgogi, or Thai beef & garlic.
  • (mayo) chicken salad, beef bulgogi, chicken & broccoli, broccoli salad.
