During the cold winter months, my Instant Pot permanently live on top of my kitchen counter. I love testing different comfort food recipes with it to stay warm. If you love warm and spicy food, you will enjoy these Pressure Cooker / Slow Cooker Sriracha Chili Chicken Wings. This recipe requires just five ingredients, minimal prep work, and hungry tummies!
5 Simple Ingredients for Sriracha Chili Chicken Wings
Yes, only five ingredients (seven, if you want to sprinkle sesame seeds and cilantro)! I love recipes with short ingredients list. And it’s even better if I have all the ingredients already in my kitchen pantry. This recipe only need: Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce – It’s a type of chili/hot sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. The most popular brand is Huy Fong. It’s a necessity for my family when we eat Vietnamese beef noodle soup, Pho. What other foods/dishes do you add Sriracha to? Thai sweet chili sauce – It’s a popular condiment in Thai cuisine and is made with red chili peppers, rice wine vinegar, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar. The most popular brand is Mae Ploy. My family loves my Spicy Chicken Karaage recipe with sweet chili sauce. These wings are just a tiny bit spicy (even I can handle them), sweet, and super tender. They’ll be finished cooking in the slow cooker but I highly recommend broiling them after. Broiling these sriracha chili chicken wings in the oven makes the skin more crispy and slightly charred. Since you can make a huge batch in the slow cooker, you can make them for yourself to enjoy or for a party with the same amount of effort.
Use Instant Pot for Sriracha Chili Chicken Wings
The original recipe calls for a slow cooker, so I used the slow cooker function of my Instant Pot. However, if you have a Crock-Pot or any other slow cooker, please use it following the manufacture’s instructions on how to operate it. It requires just 2 hours with my Instant Pot till the chicken is flavorful, tender, and almost fall off the bone. If you’re are planning to use an Instant Pot, don’t cook more than 2 hours. If you use a pressure cooker for this recipe, the process will be shorten to 25-40 minutes (10 minutes to pressurize and 15 minutes to cook, and additional 15 minutes if you let it de-pressurize naturally).
