The Best Boneless CHICKEN Wings

One appetizer we ESPECIALLY love is boneless wings! Boneless = winning (although we still love the bone-in wings too).

This boneless wings recipe is one of our favorites, and a crowd favorite as well. They are the perfect size for dipping and popping right into your mouth! Plus, the ingredients are simple and come together perfectly.

For more favorite wings try Classic Hot Wings and our Boneless Honey BBQ Wings. And don’t forget our favorite dip for these wings: Homemade Ranch.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

  • For sharing. We love delicious appetizers especially for holidays, a game days, or a simple party.
  • Bite-size. They are as easy to eat as they are to make!
  • Classic flavor. We’ve taken the buffalo flavor and taken it up just a notch – it’s delicious!

Ingredients

PREP TIME: 20 minutes

CHILL TIME: 20 minutes

COOK TIME: 20 minutes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika – or cayenne pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut to ½-inch chunks – Partially freeze the chicken breast to make it easier to cut into even cubes.
  • 12 ounces mild buffalo wing sauce – or hot buffalo sauce. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes to make them even spicier.
  • oil for frying – We used vegetable oil, but peanut oil, canola oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil, and corn oil are other options.
  • optional sides – We like Homemade Ranch Dressing or blue cheese dressings along with carrot and celery sticks.

How to Make Boneless Wings

  1. PREP. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
    • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 cup milk.
  2. COAT. Dip and coat each piece of chicken in the egg mixture. Then roll in the flour mixture to coat. Repeat steps so that each piece of chicken is double-coated. Refrigerate the breaded chicken for at least 20 minutes.
  3. FRY. In batches, fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown. About 5-6 minutes drain on paper towels.
  4. SAUCE. Heat 12 ounces buffalo sauce in a skillet, add fried chicken pieces, and toss to coat. Serve warm with a favorite dipping sauce like Ranch Dressing.

Alternative Cooking Methods

  • Bake. Heat your oven to 375°F. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until it has an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Air fry. Prepare the wings as directed in the recipe. Spray the air fryer basket and the wing pieces with olive oil spray. Fry them in a single layer at 370°F for 5 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.

    This is an absolutely wonderful recipe. Not only is it amazing for Boneless Wings as advertised, it is also an amazing base for all kinds of Asian and stir fry dishes as well. I’ve made amazing Cashew and General TSO chicken dishes that come out restaurant perfect thanks to this!

    Love this recipe…can these be fried ahead of time and reheated when ready to eat? I’m trying to plan ahead and save time. Any recommendations?

    Can these be made in the air fryer? If so for how long and what temperature?

      Yes you definitely can! You could probably play around with temperatures and times (or look for some ideas online) but I imagine 375 for about 15 minutes would work well.
