Honey-Garlic Chicken Wings in Instant Pot

Makes four servings

Ingredients: 1½ pounds (720 g) chicken wings, four cloves garlic, peeled and roughly minced, 1/2 shallot, roughly chopped, 1-2 star anise, one tablespoon (15 ml) sliced ginger, one tablespoon (15 ml) clear honey, 1/2 cup (125 ml) warm water, one tablespoon (15 ml) peanut butter, 1½ tablespoons (22 ml) cornstarch, two tablespoons (30 ml) light soy sauce, one tablespoon (15 ml) dark soy sauce, 1/2 oz (15 ml) Shaoxing wine, one teaspoon (5 ml) granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions: In a medium mixing bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and salt. Stir well. Place chicken wings in the soy mixture and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the peanut oil in an electric instant pot turned to the sauté function, ensuring to coat the oil over the whole bottom of the cooker.

Remove wings from the marinade and add to the pot. Brown thoroughly, flipping occasionally, for about 30 seconds on both sides. Remove browned meat from the pot and transfer to a serving plate. Cover, then set aside, and keep hot.

Add the minced shallot, star anise, and sliced ginger to the pot. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Stir in minced garlic and continue cooking for a further 30 seconds.

Combine one tablespoon (15 ml) of honey and warm water in a small mixing bowl. Mix until honey dissolves completely. Add the honey mixture into the pot and deglaze the bottom, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.

Return chicken wings with any accumulated juices to the pot, then pour reserved soy marinade over the chicken. Close the pressure cooker and lock the lid. Set the machine to cook at high pressure. Set the timer to cook for 5 minutes.

Turn the pressure cooker off and carefully open the lid. Season honey garlic chicken wings with salt and stir well. Remove cooked chicken from the pot using tongs and transfer to a serving plate.

Set the pressure cooker to sauté function. Combine cornstarch and one tablespoon of cold running water in a small mixing bowl. Mix until the cornstarch has dissolved completely. Stir it into the honey-garlic sauce, one-third at a time, until desired thickness.

Return the chicken wings to the pot and mix well with the sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
