Buffalo Chicken Wings

By:

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup red hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp dried Cajun seasoning blend
  • 3 lbs not-­breaded frozen chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 oz crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
  • Stir the hot sauce, broth, butter, and seasoning blend in an Instant Pot. Set the wings in the sauce and toss well. Lock the lidonto the pot.
  • Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker
    Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 12 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
  • Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers
    Press Poultry, Pressure cook or Manual on High pressure for 15 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
  • Use the quick-­release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Use tongs to transfer the wings to a large serving platter.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl until creamy. Serve alongside the hot wings as a dip (perhaps with some of the boiled-down liquid from the machine for a second dip).
Notes
  • Beyond
    • For an 8-quart Instant Pot, you must increase all the ingredients by 50 percent.
    • To make these wings crisp (and thus take them over the top): In step 3, use tongs to transfer them from the cooker to a large, lipped baking sheet. Position the oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler. Broil the wings until crunchy, basting several times with the pot’s juices and turning once, 2–3 minutes.
    • Buffalo wings need celery and carrot sticks!
    • Although this blue cheese dip is traditional, we’ll confess we’ve come to like the wings with ranch dressing that’s been mixed with minced pickled jalapeño rings and minced chives.
  • *Using a –­20°F CHEST FREEZER?
    There is no difference in cooking times.
