Boneless buffalo wings are a popular appetizer that combines the spicy flavour of buffalo sauce with tender, juicy chicken pieces. Unlike traditional wings, these are made with boneless chicken breast, making them easier to eat and perfect for any gathering. This version of boneless buffalo wings ensures a crispy exterior by double breading the chicken and frying it to perfection. The homemade buffalo sauce adds a kick that can be adjusted to your heat preference, making it ideal for those who love a little spice in their meals. Perfect for game day, parties, or even just a fun dinner at home, these boneless buffalo wings cater to anyone who enjoys the classic combination of crispy chicken and spicy sauce.

Instructions

Prepare the chicken

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Pro tip: For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.

Make the coating

In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

Pro tip: Use a shallow dish for easy coating.

Coat the chicken

Remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off excess. Dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Pro tip: For extra crispiness, double dip in buttermilk and flour.

Heat the oil

In a deep pan, heat oil to 180°C (350°F).

Pro tip: Use a thermometer to ensure oil reaches the right temperature.

Fry the chicken

Fry the chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature.

Make the buffalo sauce

In a saucepan, combine hot sauce, melted butter, and honey over low heat until combined.

Pro tip: Adjust honey for sweetness preference.

Coat the wings

Toss the fried chicken in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Pro tip: Do this just before serving to keep them crispy.

Serve

Serve immediately with celery sticks and dipping sauce.

Pro tip: Serve with chilled ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
