There are so many reasons to love this chicken wings recipe! Here's why:

·  No deep-frying! It is possible to get restaurant-style crispy chicken wings without deep-frying. With this recipe, you will save a lot of calories without sacrificing the flavor.

·  Quick and easy! These chicken wings are cooked in high pressure for only 5 minutes!

For Instant Pot users, you only need to use a small amount of oil to crisp the wings in the broiler after cooking at high pressure. I personally used my Ninja Foodi air crisp to make this recipe, therefore, I used absolutely no oil because I crisp the chicken using the air-crisp feature. I'll tell you more about it below.

·  Keto-friendly food! If you are currently on a Keto-diet, lucky you! This recipe is a keto compliant food.

·  Full of Flavors! The wings are so aromatic, garlicky, and have the perfect cheesy flavors that aren’t overly salty!

How to Make Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings:

The cooking process is very simple. As I mentioned earlier, I used the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker TenderCrisp to make these garlic parmesan chicken wings.

First, I seasoned the chicken wings with basic dry seasoning that I've used for almost all of my chicken wings recipes. Then, I cooked the chicken wings at high pressure for 5 minutes. Once cooked, I used the Air-Crisp mode to crisp the chicken for up to 15 minutes.

I also dipped the cooked and crisped chicken wings into melted garlic parmesan butter. Lastly, before serving, I sprinkled some grated parmesan cheese.

What if I want to cook this using an Instant Pot?

Well, the process is pretty similar to that of the Ninja Foodi. You will have to cook the wings at high pressure for about 5 minutes then dip the chicken wings into melted butter.

The only thing that makes it different is that you will have transfer the chicken wings from the instant pot straight to the broiler to crisp them. This process shouldn't take a very long time.
