Ingredients:

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, diced into 1 inch pieces
Eggs
All-Purpose Flour
Cayenne Pepper
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Salt and pepper
Buffalo Sauce. We make homemade buffalo sauce and Best Chicken Wing Sauce but you can use store brand.
Vegetable Oil for Frying

How to make Boneless Chicken Wings:

Coat the chicken in eggs. Whisk the eggs together in a shallow bowl. Then place the chicken pieces in the eggs and toss to coat them thoroughly.

Combine the flour and seasoning. Then in a large zip lock bag, mix together the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Dredge the chicken in flour. Then work in batches and take the chicken pieces from the eggs (drip off any excess egg mixture from the chicken) into the flour salt mixture. Seal the bag and allow air to stay in the bag.

Then shake the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken in the flour mixture. Then move the chicken pieces to a baking sheet to rest while you prepare the oil.

Heat the oil. Heat approximately 3 inches of the vegetable oil in a large pan or fryer to 375 degrees F.

Cook the chicken pieces. Work in batches and place the breaded chicken in the oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and browned. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Place on a paper towel. Once cooked, move the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels or a lined baking dish to soak up the excess oil.

Pour the buffalo Sauce. Then place the chicken in a large bowl, pour the buffalo sauce on top and toss to coat.

Serve the chicken and enjoy. Then serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!

Variation ideas:

Barbecue Sauce. Skip the buffalo sauce and make barbecue sauce instead.
Teriyaki Sauce. This flavor is delicious with wings.
Lemon Pepper. Try this for a super easy seasoning.
Cajun Seasoning. You can use a dry rub to season these to kick up the heat.
Chicken thighs. This type of meat can be substituted for chicken breast. However, we do prefer using chicken breasts to make boneless wings.
Breading. You can omit the breading if you are trying to reduce the carbs. Simply, cut the chicken, bake and coat in the buffalo sauce.

Baking Method:

Instead of frying, bake these chicken wings. After breading them, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

Then flip the chicken over and cook for another 15 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees.

Then coat in the buffalo sauce.

Can you make in advance?

Yes, absolutely. Prep the chicken and fry as normal. However, do not coat with the buffalo sauce.

Once the chicken has cooled, place inside a freezer bag or container. Freeze until ready to eat.

When ready to serve, take them out of the freezer and bake at 350 until heated all the way through. Then coat with the buffalo sauce and serve.
