What is Boneless Chicken Wings Recipe?
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Why call them “wings” if there are no bones? Great question! It’s like calling a veggie burger a “burger”—technically debatable, but we’re here for the vibes.

Some say the name stuck because, well, “boneless chicken chunks” doesn’t exactly scream party food.
Fun fact: The phrase “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” was practically coined for this recipe. Whip these up, and you’ll have friends, family, or that cute neighbor texting you for the secret. Ready to see what the hype’s about? Grab your apron—let’s get clucking!

How to Make Boneless Chicken Wings
Quick Overview
Crispy, juicy, and saucy—this recipe nails all three. With pantry staples and a 30-minute timer, you’ll get restaurant-quality wings without the grease-stained takeout bag.
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Serves: 4
Key Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1.5-inch pieces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch (secret weapon for extra crunch!)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (or sauce of choice)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels—this ensures maximum crispiness!
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip & Dredge: Dip chicken in buttermilk, then coat in the flour mixture. Shake off excess.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat oil to 375°F. Fry chicken in batches for 5-6 minutes until golden. Drain on a wire rack (not paper towels—soggy wings are sad wings).
- Sauce ‘Em Up: Toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce. Serve immediately!
What to Serve With Boneless Chicken Wings
- Cool & Crunchy: Celery sticks, carrot curls, and ranch or blue cheese dip.
- Carbs, Please: Crispy fries, garlic knots, or jalapeño cheddar cornbread.
- Drinks: Ice-cold beer, lemonade, or a margarita for extra zest.
Top Tips for Perfecting Boneless Chicken Wings
- Double-Dip for Extra Crunch: Coat chicken in flour, buttermilk, then flour again.
- Air Fryer Hack: Spray wings with oil and air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes (flip halfway!).
- Sauce Smart: Toss wings in sauce after frying to keep them crispy.
Storing and Reheating Tips
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Oven or air fryer at 375°F for 5-8 minutes. Microwaving = soggy tragedy.
- Freeze: Freeze unsauced wings for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen!
