The Best boneless buffalo wings recipe

I’m so excited to share my favorite boneless buffalo wings recipe with you. This dish has been a staple in our household for years, and I’ve perfected it over time to make it easy to make and delicious every time.

I love how the crispy exterior gives way to tender, juicy meat, all coated in a rich and spicy buffalo sauce. It’s the perfect combination of flavors and textures that my family and I can’t get enough of.

Whether we’re watching a game, having a family movie night, or just need a quick and easy dinner solution, this recipe is always a good idea. Plus, it’s surprisingly healthy considering how tasty it is!

The key to making great boneless buffalo wings is to not overcook them, so they stay juicy and tender. I like to use chicken breasts or tenders that are cut into bite-sized pieces, so they cook quickly and evenly.

Then, I marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, hot sauce, and spices before tossing them in flour and frying until crispy. It’s a simple process that yields amazing results every time.

My kids love helping me in the kitchen with this recipe, too – they get to mix up the marinade and toss the wings in flour, which makes them feel like they’re really contributing to dinner.

🥘Ingredients

For the Chicken

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For the Buffalo Sauce

1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top for extra crispiness.
3In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4In a second bowl, place the beaten eggs.
5In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
6Coat each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the panko to coat thoroughly.
7Place the breaded pieces on the prepared wire rack.
8Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
9While the chicken bakes, make the buffalo sauce.
10In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
11Stir and heat until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes.
12Transfer the baked chicken to a large bowl and pour the warm buffalo sauce over it.
13Toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated.
14Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Boneless buffalo wings are a fantastic recipe to have in your rotation. They are easy to make, customizable in heat, and loved by both kids and adults. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or in an air fryer at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. This keeps the coating crispy. When it comes to serving, these wings are great for any occasion.

I often bring them to potlucks, serve them at birthday parties, or make them for a cozy movie night at home. They pair well with coleslaw, potato wedges, or a simple green salad. You can also set up a dipping station with ranch, blue cheese, and extra hot sauce.

This recipe always disappears fast, so I recommend making a double batch. It is a reliable crowd pleaser that never lets me down.
