Notes

  • ++
  • Weight Watchers Points in Instant Pot Chicken Wings
  • Calculating Weight Watchers points for these recipes was a bit tricky because not all of the sauce is actually absorbed into the chicken.... only about 30%. I calculated the points values below with that idea in mind.
  • Honey Chilli
  • Buffalo
  • Teriyaki (using a sugar-free substitute for the sweetener of choice)

  • Nutrition facts are calculated for Buffalo Wings.
  • The total cook time does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to get to pressure and the time for the natural pressure release. Plan for additional time.
  • If you are really short on time (or really hungry), you can skip the grilling / broiling step.
  • Wings can be served with a sauce or dressing. Buffalo wings, for example, can be served with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing (low fat if you would like).
  • If you get a ‘burn’ notice on your Instant Pot, open the lid and stir the wings and sauce. Then replace the lid and cook for the remaining time.
  • The sauces can be made and frozen for up to 3 months. If you want to make the sauces ahead of time in a large bowl, you can pour them into freezer-friendly jars or Ziploc bags and freeze them for up to 3 months before using.
