Sprinkle wings with garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

Place a metal trivet inside the Instant Pot® and add one cup of water.

Arrange seasoned wings on top of the trivet before securing the cover in place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and adjust the “Manual” setting to 8 minutes.

While the wings cook, in a medium bowl, whisk the barbecue sauce, melted butter, and remaining garlic powder until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

When done cooking, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining steam. Carefully remove the lid and transfer the wings to a large bowl. Set aside until just cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, position the top oven rack in the top position and pre-heat the broiler to high.

Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire cooling rack on top. Set aside.

Pour 1/3 of the barbecue sauce on top of the wings and toss to coat.

Transfer the wings to the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet and place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until the wings start to get crispy and develop some color.

Turn the wings and repeat this process.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and toss the wings with half of the remaining barbecue sauce.

Serve immediately with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
