Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings

Directions

1. In a bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
2. Place the chicken wings in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the Saute function. Heat a tablespoon of oil and add the marinated chicken wings. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until they are lightly browned.

5. Close the Instant Pot lid, select the Manual/Pressure Cook function, and set the timer for 10 minutes on high pressure.
6. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick pressure release.

8. Preheat the oven broiler and place the baking sheet with the wings in the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and crispy.
9. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
