For Chicken Wings:
- Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dry herbs. Make sure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Insert a steaming basket into the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in the steaming basket. Secure the lid, ensuring that the sealing ring is properly positioned, and set the valve to 'Sealing'. Cook on Manual/Pressure Level, High Pressure for 5 minutes. Release the pressure quickly once done.
- Carefully move the chicken wings to the lined baking sheet, spreading them out adequately. Generously brush them with barbecue sauce or your preferred sauce.
- Roast the wings in the preheated oven for about 5 to 15 minutes, adjusting the time based on your preference for crispiness.
- Immediately serve the crispy chicken wings with extra barbecue sauce on the side. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; reheat in an oven set to 400°F for around 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
