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:
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
- 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.
- 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.
- FRY. In batches, fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown. About 5-6 minutes drain on paper towels.
- 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.

Recipe FAQ
Coat the boneless buffalo wings the day before and keep them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to fry.
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Reheat them in the microwave or in the oven.

I am lactose intolerant. Any recommendations for dairy-free alternatives for regular milk?
You could use soy, almond, or rice milk. There’s even lactose-free milk.
I am planning on taking these wings to my family party! They will be a big hit!
Have you ever tried freezing these? If so, what is the best way? Do you cook them first?
I usually don’t have enough leftover to freeze! 😉 But you could freeze them. I’d suggest letting them cool down all the the way, then pack in an airtight container making sure none of them overlap. Once they have frozen you can stack them. You’ll have to let us know how they turn out after reheating!
