Method:

1. Marinate the chicken wings using the soy sauce, shoaxing wine, sugar and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes
2. On the Midea InstaChef control panel, turn the menu knob until you reach the “Fry” function and press start
3. Wait until the pot is as hot as it can be and then add in the oil and marinated chicken wings
4. Brown the chicken wings for about 30 seconds on each side then remove them and set aside
5. Add in the onion, star anise and ginger and stir for about a minute, then add in the garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds)
6. Mix the honey and warm water together and add it to the pot. Deglaze the bottom of the pot using a wooden spoon
7. Place the chicken wings and left over marinade back into the pot. Cancel the “Fry” function and then place the lid on the Midea InstaChef
8. Turn the menu knob until you reach the “Meat” function. Using the +/- buttons, adjust the time to 5 minutes
9. Press start to begin cooking. Music will sound and the Midea InstaChef will start the countdown once the optimum pressure has been reached inside
10. When the timer ends, cooker will beep and will switch to the “Keep Warm” function automatically.
11. Let the Midea InstaChef naturally release on its own for 10 minutes
12. Press the pressure release button to get rid of any excess pressure and then open the lid
13. Remove the wings from the pot and set aside
14. Put the Midea InstaChef back on the “Fry” function. Mix the cornstarch with 1 Tbsp cold water and add it to the sauce 1/3 at a time until you reach desired thickness
15. Cancel the “Fry” function and add the chicken wings back to the pot. Coat the wings well with the sauce
16. Enjoy!
