Since chicken wings need to be crispy, you are going to saute the wings in a little bit of oil first. You are not worried about cooking the wings all the through because you are only trying to make the skin crispy. Once the skin has turned brown, you want to take them out of the Instant Pot. When you put them back in for the pressure cooking, you will finish cooking the chicken.
