I like to season my Chicken Wings before cooking them with a blend of Season Salt, Garlic Powder and a little Cayenne Pepper for a kick.
But don't worry, the sweet Honey BBQ really balances the kick to this recipe.
Can BBQ Chicken Wings be cooked from Frozen?
Yes! Chicken Wings can be cooked from frozen in the Instant Pot. Using a Pressure Cooker they will cook for 12mins from Frozen or 8 mins from thawed.
Can Chicken Wings be reheated?
Of course they can be! Reheat chicken wings in the Oven at 350 degrees. Place in a lined baking dish and bake for 15 mins. Add additional Sauce and enjoy!
How many BBQ Chicken Wings can you cook in an Air Fryer?
I like to keep use my Air Fryer to crisp the outside of the Chicken Wings once it's been cooked in the Pressure Cooker.
It's important to keep it to a single layer in the Air Fryer. I can crips 10-12 small Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer and it's perfect.
I will turn the Chicken Wings over to crisp both sides.
