Homemade Boneless Chicken Wings with Buffalo Sauce Recipe

Introduction

These boneless wings are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for snacking or serving at parties. Made with tender chunks of chicken breast and coated in a crunchy breading, they are tossed in buffalo wing sauce for that classic spicy kick.

A round white plate holds a pile of crispy, bright orange buffalo chicken bites covered in a shiny sauce, with a rough texture from the breading visible. The bites are stacked in the center, some overlapping each other. On the right side of the plate, there are fresh pale green celery sticks standing upright next to a small white bowl filled with creamy white dipping sauce. The plate is lined with crumpled white parchment paper that has some splashes of sauce, all set on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk or milk
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs, blended or pulsed
  • Buffalo wing sauce
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into 2-inch pieces and place them into a large bowl.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
  3. Step 3: Add the seasoning blend to the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Step 4: Prepare a breading station using three shallow bowls: whisk eggs and buttermilk together in one, put flour in the second, and place the blended Panko bread crumbs in the third.
  5. Step 5: Dip each seasoned chicken piece first in the egg wash, then dredge in flour.
  6. Step 6: Dip the floured chicken piece back into the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly in the Panko bread crumbs.

  8. Step 8: Heat about 3 inches of oil in a large skillet over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
  9. Step 9: Remove the fried chicken and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  10. Step 10: Toss the fried chicken pieces in buffalo wing sauce to coat if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crispiness, pulse the Panko crumbs to a finer texture before breading.
  • Use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangier flavor and tender chicken.
  • Try different sauces like barbecue, honey mustard, or garlic parmesan for variety.
  • Make them ahead and keep warm in a low oven while frying the rest.

Storage

Store leftover boneless wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the breading soggy.

FAQs

Can I bake the boneless wings instead of frying?

You can substitute with other spicy sauces, barbecue sauce, or even ranch dressing depending on your taste preference.
