    Introduction

    While most of us may think of teriyaki (sauce) as being Japanese, its authenticity as Japanese is questionable.  Outside of Japan, teriyaki generally refers to a sauce that meat or seafood can be cooked with,  but the Japanese refer to teriyaki as a form of cooking.

    Teri means “shiny” and Yaki means “grill”.   Here in the US, teriyaki sauce has many variations.  We add pineapple, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, and other ingredients to our teriyaki sauces.

    My recipe for Instant Pot teriyaki chicken wings is delicious and comes together really easily.    In my original oven-baked version of this recipe, I cook the sauce in a saucepan until it’s reduced and bake the pressure cooker teriyaki wings in an oven for about an hour.  In adapting the recipe for the pressure cooker the time is cut in half!

    After cooking the pressure cooker wings, you’ll need to use your oven/broiler, barbecue, or air fryer to finish the Instant Pot Asian chicken wings.  That will give them the caramelization that takes these wings over the top

    Tips and Substitutions


    Teriyaki Sauce

    If you’re in a hurry or don’t have the individual ingredients for these soy sauce chicken wings, you can use store-bought teriyaki sauce and substitute it for the homemade teriyaki sauce ingredients. Just make sure the sauce doesn’t have any thickeners like cornstarch or flour.


    Pressure Release

    If you don’t have the time to do a Natural Release / Natural Pressure Release (NPR), you could do a quick release (QR) after allowing for a natural pressure release for 10 to 15 minutes.

    [Read More: Instant Pot Natural Release vs. Quick Release]


    Make Ahead Tip

    For a make-ahead party appetizer, I cook the Instant Pot Asian wings and thicken the sauce and store them both in the fridge.  I then broil the wings right before I plan to serve them.

    If you’re a good planner and not in a hurry, you can also marinate the chicken wings in the sauce for 2 to 8 hours before cooking, to allow the flavors to really penetrate.


    Frozen Chicken Wings

    If you happen to have frozen chicken wings, you should be able to use them and follow the recipe.

    You do need to make sure that the wings are separate and not frozen in one big bunch. If they’re in a frozen bunch, the wings may cook unevenly.


    Spice

    I like a bit of heat, and this recipe has a dash of sriracha sauce.  If you like things spicy, feel free to increase the quantity of sriracha.   Or you can completely leave it out.

    FAQS


    If you double the recipe, do you double the cooking time?

    If you double the recipe, you don’t change the pressure cooking time.

    If you halve the recipe should you change the pressure cooking time?

    No, to halve the recipe, halve all ingredients and keep the same pressure cooking time. However, make sure you have enough liquid to bring the Instant Pot to pressure!

    Do you need to marinate the chicken?

    It’s not essential to marinate the chicken wings, but they’ll be more flavorful if you do. Try for 30 minutes, but 2 to 8 hours would be ideal.

    Can you finish up these chicken wings on the grill?

    Yes, you can cook them on a grill for just long enough to get the grill marks and caramelization – maybe a couple of minutes.

    What models of Instant Pot can be used to make this recipe?

    Any Instant Pot model can be used to make this recipe. An Instant Pot Duo Crisp or Pro Crisp is ideal since you can pressure cook and air fry with these models. You can also use an air fryer lid to brown the crisp topping.
    Read my post on the Duo Crisp vs Pro Crisp to find out more about those models.

    Can you freeze the chicken wings?

    I would freeze the wings and sauce separately. Defrost them in the refrigerator and broil them right before you’re ready to serve the wings.

    Can you make this recipe ahead of time?

    You can pressure cook the wings, reduce the teriyaki sauce and refrigerate them separately until you’re ready to broil the chicken wings.

    Can this recipe be made in the air fryer?

    Follow the recipe for my Instant Pot air fryer chicken wings. For the marinade, heat the ingredients in a saucepan until thickened. Coat the chicken wings with the sauce.

    Can you use this recipe to make pressure cooker teriyaki chicken?

    This marinade is terrific for teriyaki chicken and rice. I cook boneless chicken thighs for about 8 minutes and do a 10-minute natural release.

        Linda, I would say a couple of minutes on each side – just to get the grill marks. Because the chicken is fully cooked.

        Janice, I haven’t used a Ninja Foodi but I think you should be able to use the same recipe and then at the end, put it under the air fryer lid instead of broiling it. I’m glad you like the recipe. It tastes really good with chicken thighs and served with rice, and a fried egg on top! Pressure cook for about 9 minutes for boneless thighs.

        No, keep the cooking time the same. Watch out for halving the liquid ingredients and possibly not having enough liquid to seal the Instant Pot. It might very well work, but just be watchful.

      If you want to double or 1 and a half the recipe because you have closer to 3.5# of meat… do you increase the cooking time? I’m kinda new to using my Instant Pot, and am not sure if increased volume should increase cook time, seems like it should?

      Tried this recipe for the second time for the Super Bowl and they we’re perfect. They will be on a regular rotation in our house. Used dried garlic & ginger the first time. It’s much better using fresh for both of these aromatics, but they work in a pinch.

        Thanks so much for your comment, Tina – I’m really glad you liked it. You could easily make this with chicken thighs and drumsticks, add in some steamed broccoli, serve with rice – and make it a dinner.

      If my wings are frozen, how long should I cook them for. Recipe looks delicious!

        If the wings are separate and aren’t stuck together, you should be able to pressure cook them for the same amount of time, the Instant Pot should take care of the rest. It will just take longer to come to pressure.

      I made this tonight and it was good! I wanted something quick so just used store bought teriyaki sauce but I did receive a burn error before it ever came to pressure and started the timer. I believe it was because I only just a little over a pound of thawed wings. It is just me and my husband and we did not need to make 2.5 pounds. So I would assume that was the problem. It was an easy fix though! They really didn’t burn (except one tiny patch in the center) so I ended up flipping them over and using the saute button for about 2 minutes. Transferred them to the pan, mixed in the cornstarch slurry, basted them and broiled them at 475 for 5 minutes. I then flipped basted again and broiled for another 5 minutes. We both enjoyed them very much!

      I also made a bag of frozen stir fry veggies. Because we only had a little over a pound of chicken there was about 1/4 cup of remaining sauce in the instant pot so threw the veggies in there to use up the sauce and yum! I also threw on a knorr bag of teriyaki rice on the stove. Over a very cheap and easy meal. Would make a great work night dinner!

        Britt, when you use store-bought sauces, they may already have fillers and add-ins like corn starch. Check the label of the bottle and if it does, thin it out with some broth. It most likely was not the quantity of the wings but the type of sauce. Your other option is to cook the wings on a trivet over water and then just brush on your sauce when you’re broiling. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
