Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken wings by patting them completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the pressure cooker base and place the trivet inside.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the trivet, ensuring they are not overcrowded and have some space between them.
- Close the pressure cooker lid and set to high pressure for 10 minutes. Use the manual or pressure cook setting.
- Once cooking cycle completes, perform a quick release of the pressure to prevent overcooking.
- Carefully remove the wings and transfer them to the air fryer crisplid attachment.
- Brush the wings generously with barbecue sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Set the air fryer crisplid to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning wings halfway through for even crispiness.
- Remove wings when they are golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let wings rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired, and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
Tips
- Pat Dry for Extra Crispiness: Make sure to pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning. This crucial step helps achieve that coveted crispy texture.
- Season Generously: Don’t be shy with the seasoning! Ensure the wings are evenly coated with the olive oil and spice mixture for maximum flavor.
- Avoid Overcrowding: When placing the wings in the pressure cooker, arrange them in a single layer with space in between. This allows for even cooking and better crispiness.
- Quick Release: After the pressure cooking cycle, perform a quick release to prevent the wings from overcooking. This helps maintain their juicy tenderness.
- Monitor Air Frying Time: Keep an eye on the wings while they air fry. Cooking times may vary based on the size of the wings and your specific air fryer model, so adjust as needed for perfect crispness.
- Let Them Rest: After cooking, let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is flavorful and juicy.
- Garnish for Presentation: For an extra touch, garnish the wings with chopped parsley or green onions before serving. It adds a pop of color and freshness to your dish!
