How to Make Boneless Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer

Step 1 – Step Add Chicken to Egg Mixture – Whisk the eggs together in a shallow bowl. Place the chicken bites in the eggs and toss to coat them thoroughly.

Step 2 – Mix together Flour Seasoning – Then in a large zip lock bag, mix together the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place chicken in bag and shake to coat the chicken with flour mixture.

• Step 3 – Prepare the Air Fryer – Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F. If your air fryer does not have a preheat option, then run the air fryer for 5 minutes at 370 degrees F.
• Step 4 – Spray Air Fryer with Oil – Then spray the air fryer basket with olive oil or avocado oil.
• Step 5 – Add Chicken to Air Fryer – Place the chicken in a single layer (you will need to work in batches) in the air fryer basket and spray the top of the chicken with olive oil or avocado oil.

Step 6 – Air Fry Chicken – Cook for 5 minutes at 370 degrees F. Flip the chicken and spray it with more olive oil or avocado oil. Cook for 5-7 more minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Cooking time will vary.

Step 7 – Toss with Buffalo Sauce – Then place the chicken in a large bowl, pour the buffalo sauce on top and toss to coat. Then serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Preparing Chicken – To ensure that the chicken cooks evenly, we recommend cutting the chicken about the same bite-sized pieces. You may need to filet the chicken so it is about the same thickness as well.
• Crispy Texture – Make sure to coat the chicken evenly with the egg mixture and flour mixture. This will create the perfect crispy texture while keeping the chicken juicy in the center.
• Air Fry Chicken – Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. This will allow the chicken to cook evenly.

How Long do you Cook Boneless Wings in the Air Fryer?

Boneless Wings cook in about 10 minutes depending on the size of your chicken wings and your air fryer. We recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

How to Make Boneless Chicken Wings in the Oven?

Boneless Chicken Wings can be made in the oven for another easy cooking method. Bake chicken wings on baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. I like to flip half way through to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked.

We even like to broil the chicken for about 2-3 minutes to create a crispy texture.

What to Serve with Boneless Chicken Wings

When we serve boneless chicken wings there are many dips and sides that we serve. Most of the time when we have these chicken wings for dinner, we call it a snack dinner. Here are some of my favorite sides:

• Favorite Dipping Sauce – Ranch dressing and Blue Cheese are the common dipping sauce that we like.
• Vegetable Tray – If you make hot buffalo wings, having celery sticks and carrots provides relief from the heat.
• Pizza – Make homemade pizza and serve it with your wings.
• Quesadilla – Quesadilla’s and potato skins are usually included when we have snack dinner.
• See Best Sides for Chicken Wings for more ideas.

What are the Best Chicken Wing Flavors?

• Buffalo Wing Sauce – Using a buffalo sauce to cover the chicken is a family favorite. You can make your own or use the jar stuff. You can also use hot sauce to add some heat to your wings.
• Ranch Seasoning Mix – Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix as a dry rub is my daughter’s favorite.
• Teriyaki Sauce – If you are wanting a sweeter version, toss you boneless buffalo wings with teriyaki sauce.
• Barbecue Sauce – Barbecue Sauce is always a crowd pleaser. You can even make Homemade BBQ Sauce with simple ingredients to serve with this air fryer boneless wings.
