1. Step 1

   Start by seasoning your chicken wings with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper, adjusting to your taste.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab your Instant Pot and set it to the Sauté function.

3. Step 3

   Pour in some sesame oil and let it heat up.

   Once it’s shimmering, add the seasoned wings along with minced garlic.

5. Step 5

   Sauté them for about two minutes on each side until they’re beautifully browned.

6. Step 6

   When they’re ready, transfer the wings to a plate and hit the Cancel button on your Instant Pot to stop the sautéing.

7. Step 7

   In a small bowl, whisk together half a cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and ground ginger until everything is well combined and smooth.
