Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch chunks
Seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Breading Station
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk or milk
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs, blended or pulsed to a finer texture
Other
- Buffalo wing sauce, for coating
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 2-inch chunks and place them in a large bowl to start.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and black pepper, stirring well to create the seasoning blend.
- Season Chicken: Toss the chicken pieces in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated, ensuring each piece is well flavored.
- Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three shallow bowls: whisk the eggs and buttermilk together in one, place the flour in the second, and add the finely blended Panko breadcrumbs in the third.
- First Dip: Dip each seasoned chicken piece into the egg wash, covering thoroughly.
- First Coat: Immediately dredge the egg-coated chicken in the flour, covering all surfaces, then dip it back into the egg wash to help the breadcrumbs stick.
- Bread the Chicken: Finally, coat the chicken pieces in the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well; repeat this process for all pieces.
- Heat Oil: Pour about 3 inches of oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches the right temperature for frying (around 350°F).
- Fry Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes, turning as needed for even cooking.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried chicken and place on paper towels to absorb any residual oil, keeping the wings crispy.
- Coat with Sauce: Toss the fried boneless wings in buffalo wing sauce to your desired level of spiciness and flavor.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce on the side and enjoy your crispy boneless wings.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double dip the chicken pieces in egg and breadcrumbs before frying.
- Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature and prevent greasy wings.
- Substitute buffalo sauce with BBQ or honey garlic for different flavor profiles.
- Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic wing experience.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
