This Instant Pot Chicken Wings recipe could not be any easier. And thanks to some simple everyday pantry staples aka Coca-Cola, paprika soy sauce, and garlic powder they have an amaaaaaazing flavor that is loved by the whole family.

The great thing about making pressure cooker chicken wings is that they cook up much quicker than traditional methods (5 minutes cook time under pressure) and turn out juicy and fall of the bone tender.

Grilling them in the sweet sticky cola sauce just makes them taste that much more delectable. And just as delicious as these Air Fryer Chicken Wings and the great snack that is these Lemon Pepper Wings.

Ingredient Notes

  • Chicken Wings – This uses bone-in chicken wings. You can use boneless ones but you will have to adapt the cooking time.
  • Coke – this gives the chicken wings the amazing flavor. This uses plain Coca-cola, but you can use a flavored Coke like Cherry Coke.
  • Sugar – Brown sugar gives a nice sweet flavor and also helps caramelize the wings.
  • Sharpness – gluten-free soy sauce and lime helps develop the flavor. You can use regular soy sauce or instead of lime use some lemon or vinegar.
  • Seasoning – smoked paprika and garlic powder work well in this. Feel free to add in regular paprika and other spices to your taste.

How To Make Chicken Wings Instant Pot

Get full ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

  1. Add chicken wings into the Instant Pot.
  2. Pour in the Coke and add in the gluten-free soy sauce (or regular), half the sugar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Lock the Instant Pot, turn the valve to the sealing position, select pressure cook or manual on high pressure, and set the timer for 5 minutes.
  4. Once done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes followed by a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure.
  5. Remove the cooked wings (leave the liquid in the Instant Pot) and transfer them to a lined broiler-safe baking pan tray.
  6. Add the remaining sugar into the pressure cooker, select sauté and cook the liquid until it’s reduced to a thick sauce.
  7. Brush the sauce over the chicken wings, broil them for about 5 minutes until crispy. Then serve and enjoy!

Recipe Tips And Variations

  • Broilers will cook at different rates so do keep a close eye on your wings and turn them when needed
  • Use long tongs to remove the wings from the instant pot and to turn them under the broiler or grill.
  • If you are short on time, skip the grilling / broiling stage. While they won’t have that extra smoky flavor, they will still taste great.

Meal Prep

  • This recipe stores for 4 days so you can eat it on the day you cook it plus four more days.
  • Separate leftovers into up to 4 portions in airtight meal prep containers and let cool completely with the lids off.
  • When cool, close them and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating in the oven or air fryer is the best method, as the chicken can get rubbery when reheated in the microwave.
  • To vary it up through the week feel free to serve with cooked rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, salad, and more.
