• ½ yellow onion, small dice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 T Worcestershire sauce
• ¾ c ketchup
• ½ c dark brown sugar
• ½ c water
• ¼ c bourbon
• 3 T honey

• 1 t sea salt
• ½ t black pepper, cracked
• ¼ t cayenne pepper, ground

• 4 lbs chicken wings

Directions

1. Set pressure cooker to "sear", adjust time to 15 minutes, add oil, and press "start/stop". When oil is hot, add onion and garlic and sauté until onion begins to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce and stir. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, 4-5 minutes. Add water, bourbon, honey, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine then add chicken wings. Mix to coat.
2. Close and lock lid, set pressure cooker to "poultry", adjust time to 5 minutes, and press "start/stop".
3. When done, quick release and make sure all pressure is released before opening lid. Carefully open lid and remove wings to a foil- lined sheet pan. Place sheet pan with wings in oven set to broiler setting. Allow wings to "crisp" under broiler until desired crispiness.
4. While wings are in oven, set pressure cooker to "sear", adjust time to 10 minutes, and press "start/stop". Simmer sauce to desired thickness.
5. When wings have reached desired crispiness and sauce has reached desired thickness, return wings to sauce to coat. Remove wings to serving platter and top with parsley. Serve remaining sauce and any other favorite dipping sauce. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges.
