I'm going to show you how to cook Chicken Wings in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp.
Why?
Because they're so good!
Tender meat with no effort! You'll think you're at your favourite diner, they're just perfect!
The moment I received the Instant Pot Duo Crisp I knew I had to try Chicken Wings in it!
They turned out amazingly well and so quick!
The little Tapita absolutely loved them so I've had to cook them twice already.
Although I'm not sure it's a good thing that she likes them, it means I have to share now!
Chicken wings cooked on Broil with the Air Fryer Lid couldn't be easier.
The Crisp's Air Fryer Basket
We're going use the Air Fryer basket that comes with the Crisp for this recipe.
The Air Fryer basket is sturdy, as you would expect from Instant Pot, and has a base that clips on that you need to use with it at all times.
The base comes off for easy cleaning.
The basket also has what the manual calls a Broil / Dehydrator tray which I use in this recipe as it helps me bring things closer to the air fryer lid for crisping up.
But my favourite feature of the basket?
It goes in the dishwasher!!
A word about quantities
As I only have done 6-7 chicken wings at a time, I have used the tray in the air fryer basket.
You could fit a few more that way but you don't want it to get too crowded nor the wings too close to the lid.
If you want to cook a fair few chicken wings, do them straight in the basket without the tray.
Just bear in mind that the distance and the quantity may mean you need to increase the cooking time but it's easy, just lift the lid to check.
What happens when you lift the lid to check?
The cooker pauses and then it continues where it left off.
That easy.
No preheating
You may know this already from my How to use an Air Fryer guide from a while ago but there is no need to preheat an air fryer.
It has always been one of my favourite things about my Philips Air Fryer, except that one has only been used once since the Crisp arrived!
The Crisp gives me so much more space than my 0.8 kg (800 g) Philips Air Fryer.
Saving you time and money on your energy bills.
Don't forget: your Duo Crisp is basically a mini oven. Treat it as such.
Of course, the fact that it can pressure cook, slow cook, steam and sous vide make it just perfect.
Does it have to be BBQ sauce?
I used BBQ sauce but make sure you just use the sauce or marinade you want, have, fancy or crave....
Or a dry rub.
Or even just salt and pepper and a bit of lemon.
What will you choose?
Oh and if you do choose BBQ sauce and have some left over, make these ribs!

This amount serves one or two (if you're willing to share), read the whole post for my notes on how to scale it up
Fancy recipe card further down
Ingredients
- 500-600 g chicken wings raw (see notes if you want to cook more)
- BBQ Sauce or sauce of your choice, or you could use a dry rub (get creative)
1.
Coat the chicken wings in the sauce of your choice.
2.
Lay the chicken wings on the air fryer basket's tray (like I did) or straight into the basket itself if using more than I did. Air Fryer lid in place. Press Broil (which is set at 204ºC) and programme 16 minutes, press Start.
3.
When the cooker beeps and the display says Turn Food, turn the chicken wings over. I use silicone tongs
If you have more than I did and you used the basket without the tray, put your silicone mini mitts on, grab the basket by the handles, lift it out of the inner pot and give it a quick shake.
When you lift the lid the cooker will pause and it will continue where it left off when you put the lid back on.
4.
Check the chicken wings are cooked through at the end of the cooking time. Just add a few minutes if they're not. Same if you want them crispier.
Let me know how they turn out!
Below is the fancy recipe card, with step by step photos that I hope will be helpful.

Kathy Swigart says
Do the wings have to be thawed?
Maria says
Hi Kathy, yes, it's best if they are. If they're not, you could pressure cook them from frozen first on the trivet or in a steamer basket for about 10 minutes with 500 ml of water in the inner pot then air fry (and reduce the air fry time as they will already be cooked). Hope that helps, Maria
