KETO INSTANT POT RECIPE: Louisiana-Style Chicken Wings with Creamy Cucumber-Dill Dip
Wings are one of my main keto food groups (kidding, but not really), so I had to include a recipe in here for making them in the pressure cooker. For best results, marinate the drummies in all of those delicious flavors for as long as you can. I like to get them marinating in the morning so they’re ready to throw in the Instant Pot before dinner.
Serves: 4
Active prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 cups heavy cream
1∕₄ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Tabasco or other similar hot sauce, plus a dash for the dip
2 pounds chicken drumettes, flats, or a mix
1∕₂ cup sour cream
4 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
1∕₄ cup grated cucumber
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
11∕₈ teaspoon fine Himalayan pink salt
1∕₈ teaspoon black pepper
11∕₂ teaspoons granulated garlic
11∕₂ teaspoons keto-friendly chicken bouillon powder
11∕₂ teaspoons Italian seasoning
1∕₂ teaspoon onion powder
1∕₂ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 tablespoons butter
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cream, vinegar, and Tabasco. Add the chicken and toss gently to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, cream cheese, cu-cumber, lemon juice, dill, pink salt, black pepper, and a dash of Tabasco. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. When ready to cook, pour 1 cup water into the Instant Pot. Drain the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place a trivet with handles in the pot. Arrange the wing pieces on the trivet.
4. Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure-release valve. Set the pot to HIGH pressure for 10 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, quick-release the pressure.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the garlic, bouillon powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and cayenne.
6. Position an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler to high. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
7. Open the Instant Pot and transfer the wing pieces to the baking sheet. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter for 40 seconds or until melted. Brush the wing pieces with 1∕4 cup of the melted butter and sprinkle with half of the seasoning mixture. Broil until browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces over and brush with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mixture. Broil until the second side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.
8. Serve with the dip.
