Description
Golden, crispy, and messy-fun, these boneless chicken wings are perfect for weeknight dinners or game days, offering all the flavor without the fuss.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk (or thinned plain yogurt)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
- Dressing for serving: ranch or blue cheese
Instructions
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the buttermilk into another bowl. Dip each chicken piece in the buttermilk, let excess drip off, then coat in the seasoned flour.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
- Fry chicken in batches for about 5–7 minutes per batch until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove cooked pieces with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a large bowl, pour the buffalo sauce and toss the wings until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese on the side.
Notes
For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend. For less heat, mix buffalo sauce with melted butter or honey. Keep fried chicken crispy by serving sauce on the side.
