The Best boneless chicken hot wings recipe

I am so excited to share with you my favorite boneless chicken hot wings recipe. This dish is a staple in our household, and I make it at least once a week. My kids love it, and it’s perfect for family gatherings or just a quick and easy meal.

The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make and requires minimal ingredients. I’ve been making this recipe for years, and it never fails to impress.

The combination of crispy exterior and juicy interior is absolute perfection. I’ve tried various store-bought hot sauces, but none compare to the flavor I get from making my own sauce from scratch. It’s a game-changer for anyone who loves spicy food.

The key to this recipe is using high-quality chicken breast and making sure the breading is evenly distributed. I also love that this recipe is relatively healthy compared to traditional fried chicken wings. With just 3-4 grams of fat per serving, you can indulge without feeling guilty.

My family devours these wings in seconds, and I’m always asked to make them for special occasions. It’s become a tradition in our household to make these boneless chicken hot wings for holidays, birthdays, and even casual Tuesdays.

🥘Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Hot Wing Sauce

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

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top for even air circulation.
3In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and chicken pieces.
4Stir to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the breading.
5In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, panko, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
6Remove each chicken piece from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
7Place the breaded chicken pieces on the wire rack in a single layer.
8Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
9While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce.
10In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
11Stir until smooth and heated through, about 2 minutes.
12Transfer the baked chicken to a large bowl and pour the hot wing sauce over it.
13Toss gently to coat each piece evenly.
14Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Boneless Chicken Hot Wings

Q: What type of hot sauce should I use?

For this recipe, I prefer to use Frank’s RedHot sauce as it has a nice balance of heat and flavor. You can adjust the level of heat to your liking by adding more or less sauce.

Q: Can I use different types of cheese?

Yes, you can use any type of cheese you like, but I find that mozzarella works best as it melts nicely and adds a creamy texture.

Q: How do I ensure the breading stays on?

To prevent the breading from falling off during cooking, make sure the chicken is dry before dredging it in the breading mixture.

Q: Can I bake these instead of deep-frying?

Yes, you can bake these instead of deep-frying for a healthier option. Simply preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
