FAQ

Absolutely! Baking is a healthier alternative. Simply coat the chicken as directed, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. This way, you can enjoy Boneless Chicken Wings with less oil while still retaining that crispy texture.

The options are endless! Classic choices include ranch and blue cheese dressing, which provide a creamy contrast to the spicy wings. You can also try honey mustard or even a spicy sriracha sauce for an extra kick. Feel free to get creative and mix your own sauces that suit your taste!

To achieve the perfect crispy coating, make sure to let the chicken rest after coating it in flour. This helps the breading adhere better. Additionally, frying at the right temperature (around 375°F) is crucial. If the oil is not hot enough, the wings might absorb too much oil and become soggy.

Using frozen chicken is certainly doable, but take note that you’ll need to thaw it first for even cooking. It’s best to thaw the chicken overnight in the fridge before preparing your Boneless Chicken Wings to ensure they cook thoroughly and evenly.

Making Boneless Chicken Wings is a delightful experience that brings friends and family together for a fun, flavorful meal. Their versatility and easy preparation make them a staple for any gathering. So why not try making these tasty wings tonight? Your taste buds will thank you!

Instructions

Coat the chicken in buttermilk: Add the 1 pound chicken pieces and 1/3 cup buttermilk to a shallow bowl. Toss to coat the chicken and set aside.
Whisk dry ingredients: Whisk together the 1 cup flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika in a separate shallow bowl.

Put buttermilk in a bowl: Add the remaining ⅔ cup buttermilk to a third shallow bowl.
Coat chicken three times: Using a fork, take a single buttermilk-coated piece of chicken and place it into the flour mixture. Lightly coat with flour then move it to your third bowl to coat it in buttermilk. Return it back to the flour mixture and heavily coat. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Let chicken rest: Once all pieces are coated, allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Heat the oil: To a heavy skillet, add 1 inch of oil and heat over medium.
Cook chicken in the oil: When the oil reaches 375°F, add the chicken pieces in batches of 8-10 pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken should be golden and the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Remove chicken: Remove the chicken onto a paper towel lined baking sheet and repeat until all chicken is cooked.

Toss chicken in sauce: Toss half of the chicken in ½ cup buffalo sauce and the other half in ½ cup honey barbecue sauce. Or, use 1 cup of your choice of sauce to coat all the boneless chicken wings.
Serve: Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Freezing: You can freeze cooked wings for up to a month. Just make sure they're fully cooled before freezing.

Reheating: Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness, rather than the microwave.
Variations: Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or garlic parmesan for a twist.
Pairing: Serve with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic touch.
