Ingredients:

• 3 pounds chicken drumettes/wings
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons salt, divided
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup water
• 5 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
2. Cook in the Instant Pot: Pour water into your Instant Pot and insert the trivet. Arrange the seasoned wings on the trivet. Seal the lid and set the pot to high pressure for 6 minutes. Remember, it will take about 15 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize.
3. Oven Preparation: While the Instant Pot does its magic, preheat your oven to 525°F (274°C) and position a rack in the middle. This high temperature is key for achieving a crispy finish.
4. Quick Release & Seasoning: After the Instant Pot finishes cooking, perform a quick release of pressure (approximately 2-3 minutes). Then, remove the wings and place them in a bowl. In a small bowl, melt butter with olive oil, and stir in minced garlic and ½ teaspoon of salt. Pour this mixture over the wings and toss well to coat.
5. Baking: Arrange the wings skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the skin.
6. Final Touch: Toss the hot wings with grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining salt, and fresh parsley (if using). Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
