These Instant Pot Chicken Wings with BBQ Sauce are Keto Friendly!

My guys go crazy over Chicken Wings.

I purchase them in 8 lb bags, frozen, from Sam’s Club.

I divide the bag in half, so we get 2 meals from one bag.

We prepare them many different ways.

Sometimes I bake them in the oven, sometimes we BBQ on the grill, sometimes we smoke them on the pellet smoker, and I just perfected cooking them in the Instant Pot! If you prefer to use an air fryer, you must check out these delicious air fryer chicken wings with flour! They are are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried chicken wings. 

I’m also sharing the recipe I used for Homemade Barbeque Sauce.

You can use that recipe OR your favorite bottled BBQ Sauce.

Homemade Barbeque Sauce Ingredients

To begin, gather the ingredients needed for the Homemade Barbeque Sauce.

I find they incorporate better when you slowly add them to the mixing bowl one at a time.

Homemade Barbeque Sauce

Slowly stir and combine all ingredients for the Homemade Barbeque Sauce.

Set to the side until the Instant Pot Chicken Wings are ready to receive the sauce.

Add 1 cups of water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.

Place chicken in a steamer basket over the water, or on the trivet.

Mix ingredients for bbq sauce in a bowl, and then pour over chicken to coat the chicken legs.

Close lid and set for a manual high-pressure cooking time of 10 minutes.

Allow for a natural pressure release for an additional 10 minutes when the cooking time has finished.

Vent any remaining pressure.

Transfer chicken legs to a baking sheet and cover with additional sauce, if desired.

Set broiler to hi.

Broil on high for 5 minutes to finish the chicken legs off.

This is an optional step, but will crisp up the skin.
