Firecracker Duck Wings
The trick to making these duck wings fall apart tender is to first braise them in a pressure cooker because unlike chickens, ducks use their wings on a regular basis and will be much tougher. But if you cook them in some broth and other aromatics before frying them, just buckle up and get ready for the tastiest wings you’ve ever had.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Rinse duck wings with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of wings liberally with salt and pepper. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Add duck wings, broth packets, and water to an Instant Pot and cook on HIGH for 30-45 minutes. The goal here is to get the wings close to fall off the bone tender yet not quite.
- Release pressure and allow the duck wings and broth to cool completely.
- Remove wings from braising liquid, pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
- While wings are resting, add duck fat to a heavy bottomed pot or deep fryer and heat to 350°F.
- Fry duck wings until crispy and golden brown. About 5 minutes.
- Place wings on a paper towel to soak up any excess fat. Toss immediately with firecracker sauce, serve and enjoy!
- For Firecracker Sauce:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Once butter has melted, whisk in coconut aminos, sriracha, and fish sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
Notes
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, use a crock pot or slow cooker on HIGH and follow the steps above. If you would rather use your air fryer for the final step, simply cook for 10-12 minutes in your air fryer at 400°F Finally, if you don’t have access to duck wings, this method will work for chicken just as well. Just cut the braising time in half since they are naturally more tender.
