Steps:
- Pat wings dry and place in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and toss until covered.
- Place a trivet in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place the seasoned wings in the cooker, on the trivet. Pour 1/2 cup cold water around the wings in the pot.

- Meanwhile, set your oven to broil on high and place the oven rack one level higher than the center position. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top of the foil-lined sheet. Spray the cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set the sheet aside while the wings cook.
- Once the wings have finished cooking in the pressure cooker, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then turn the knob to the Venting position to release any additional steam. Unlock and remove the lid.
- Combine hot sauce, barbeque sauce, and melted butter in a bowl. Place the wings in a large bowl and pour half of the sauce over the wings. Using a large spoon, toss the wings until all are covered with sauce. Arrange the wings on the wire rack and place in the oven.
- Vent the oven door and broil on each side until desired crispness is reached, 5 to 10 minutes. You may want to rotate the sheet halfway when turning the wings on second side.

HOT AND SWEET CHICKEN WINGS
Yes, another wings recipe. This was an experiment trying to find just the right balance of hot and sweet, as I love very hot and spicy and hubby does not. It's basically a combination of several recipes I've seen on this site and others. I did take a 5 pd tray of these to office Christmas party and was delighted their were no leftovers. Frozen drumettes or wing can be used, but i prefer the whole fresh wings.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken wings by by splitting them in half at the knuckle.

- The wings should be cooked long enough to be crispy on the outside but not too long so as to make them overcooked on the inside.
- Once the wings are done, put the bottle of red hot sauce in a large freezer bag and shake the wings in the sauce.
- That's all there is to it.
- This is a great weekend dish.
- Either a snack or you can add some side dishes to make it a dinner.

- For a flavorful marinade, use a mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. These ingredients work well together to create a balanced taste profile.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the wings. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy wings.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This ensures they are cooked safely while maintaining their juiciness.
- To enhance the flavor of the wings, toss them in a sauce made from melted butter, honey, and hot sauce. This combination creates a sweet and spicy glaze that complements the crispy exterior.
