How to make chicken wings garlic parmesan

Okay, let's cook some instant pot garlic parmesan chicken wings! You'll want to prep the wings before they go into the Instant Pot. Wash, dry and cut the wings to get them ready. Then add garlic, liquid smoke, and water to the pot for some flavor. Add your trivet to the bottom of the Instant Pot.


Add the chicken wings and minced garlic to a large mixing bowl.

Next, add the garlic parmesan wing sauce and stir to combine in the bowl until the wings are coated.

Place the chicken wings in the Instant Pot on the trivet, making sure you not to go over the max fill line. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Set the valve to sealing and cook on the poultry setting. If you are using a pressure cooker, or you want to cook on the manual setting, set for 9 minutes if you want fall-off-the-bone wings. When the timer beeps, release pressure naturally for 5-10 minutes. Then release the rest of the pressure by moving the valve to the venting setting.

Remove the garlic parmesan chicken wings from the Instant Pot and place on a baking sheet. You will broil them for 2 minutes on each side. Before serving, sprinkle the wings with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. You can also sprinkle with some chopped parsley if you wish. Yum!
