["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."]
