Instant Pot Chicken Wings
These chicken wings turn out so tender from the pressure cooker. You'll want to broil them for just a couple of minutes to crisp up the skin and then toss them in whatever sauce you like.

Notes
You may use either fresh or frozen chicken wing pieces. The cook time will stay the same, however the time it takes the pot to come to pressure will be less for fresh wings and longer for frozen wings. The pot will make the adjustment for you - just set to 12 minutes and cook.
There are 10-12 wings per pound.
