Soy Sauce Chicken Wings
This recipe produces tender chicken wings cooked under pressure in a savory sauce made from soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. The wings can be cooked from frozen in an instant pot, making preparation straightforward. After pressure cooking, chopped green onions are stirred in, and excess fat is skimmed from the sauce, resulting in flavorful, slightly sweet wings with aromatic notes from the garlic and ginger.
