Boneless Buffalo Wings Recipe
Description
The Boneless Buffalo Wings Recipe involves coating chicken breast chunks in a seasoned flour mix, then dipping them in an egg and buttermilk wash before frying. This process creates a crispy crust with flavorful Cajun spices. The wings are fried in oil heated to 350°F until cooked through and golden brown. A homemade Buffalo sauce made from melted butter, hot sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce is whisked until thickened and then tossed with the wings for a tangy, spicy glaze.
The contrast of crunchy breading with juicy chicken is complemented by classic dipping sauces like blue cheese or ranch, along with celery sticks to balance heat. This dish works well as a snack or appetizer, especially in social settings.
For extra crispiness, double-dip the chicken pieces in the flour mixture before frying. Use a thermometer to confirm the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Drain the fried wings on paper towels to remove excess oil before coating with sauce and serving promptly.
Ingredients
FOR THE BONELESS WINGS
- 1 pound chicken breast sliced into bite-sized nuggets or chunks, boneless
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon spicy seasoning blend I use a Cajun blend. What's YOUR secret blend of choice?
- salt about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon each, to taste
- black pepper about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon each, to taste
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup buttermilk or you can use milk
- vegetable oil for frying
FOR THE BUFFALO SAUCE
- 1 butter 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, stick
- ½ cup hot sauce Louisiana style; Franks or Valentina HOT recommended
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- blue cheese dressing celery sticks, or ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
FOR THE BONELESS WINGS
- Stir together the flour, seasonings and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and buttermilk until combined.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then into the seasoned flour mixture. Set onto a plate to rest for 10 minutes. (For extra crispy, dip each chicken piece twice).
- Heat several inches of frying oil heated to 350 degrees F in a large pot or Dutch oven. Do not boil.
- Fry the boneless wings for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. They should register 165 degrees F internally when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove and set onto a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
MAKE THE BUFFALO SAUCE
- Heat the butter, hot sauce, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a sauce pan until the butter melts. Whisk vigorously until the sauce thickens up.
TO SERVE
- Slather the boneless wings with homemade Buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing and celery sticks on the side.
Notes
- Double dipping the chicken nuggets in flour before frying enhances crispiness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Drain fried wings on paper towels to absorb excess oil before tossing with sauce.
- Serve immediately with blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery for best texture and flavor.
