Description
Boneless Chicken Wings are crispy, tender pieces of chicken breast or thigh, breaded and baked or fried, then tossed in your favorite wing sauce. A mess-free, crowd-pleasing alternative to traditional wings, perfect for parties or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Optional: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Oil for frying or olive oil spray for baking
- 1/2 cup wing sauce (buffalo, BBQ, or your choice)
Instructions
- Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne (if using).
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat well.
- For baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray with olive oil and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
- For frying: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes until crispy and fully cooked. Drain on paper towels.
- Toss the cooked chicken in wing sauce while still hot.
- Serve immediately with dipping sauce and sides like celery or fries.
Notes
Use cornstarch for added crunch in the coating.Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes for a healthier option.Toss in sauce just before serving to maintain crispiness.Try different sauces like garlic parmesan, honey garlic, or sweet chili.Reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain texture—avoid microwaving.
