Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (patted dry and diced into 2" pieces)
1/2 c cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for paleo)
2 tsp sea or kosher salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for paleo)
1/2 c Frank's RedHot
1/2 c Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce (or your favorite hot sauce - see suggestions in post)
2 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Combine the cornstarch, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the chicken to the cornstarch mixture; toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat a 12" non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add half the battered chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Sautee 5 minutes until the breading is lightly golden brown, flip the pieces, and sautee 5 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces, adding additional olive oil as needed.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and melt, scraping up browned bits as it cooks. Add the buffalo sauces to the melted butter and whisk until combined.
  • Add the cooked chicken to the buffalo sauce. Toss to coat all pieces in sauce, then cook an addition 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce slightly thickens. Serve immediately with blue cheese or ranch dipping sauce and sliced carrots and celery.

BONELESS BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS



Boneless Buffalo Chicken Wings image

Homemade boneless wings? You bet. Nothing too crazy here, just tried and true buttermilk-dredged chicken with a buttery buffalo sauce. Add some cool blue cheese and ranch for dipping and you're set for game day.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup Frank's hot sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
vegetable or peanut oil
1 pound skinless chicken breast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Combine the hot sauce, water, butter, and cayenne in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted and the sauce is heated through. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Heat the oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 360 degrees F. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Place the buttermilk in another shallow bowl. Cut the chicken into 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 inch squares, about 1-inch thick. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip them into the buttermilk, coating them completely. Let any excess drip off. Dip the chicken again in the flour and shake off excess. Add the chicken in batches to the hot oil and cook, turning as needed, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling. Transfer the hot sauce mixture to a large bowl. Add the browned chicken and toss them with the sauce, coating them completely. Transfer the chicken to the foil-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until cooked through and the sauce is slightly caramelized. Serve the boneless wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1" strips
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
For the hot sauce:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot sauce (preferably Frank's)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
For the blue cheese dip:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped chives, divided
For frying and serving:
Vegetable oil (for frying)
4 celery stalks, cut crosswise into 4-5" pieces
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • Prep the chicken:
  • Stir buttermilk, hot sauce, and 1 Tbsp. salt in a wide, shallow bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
  • Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and remaining 1 Tbsp. salt in a large bowl.
  • Working in batches, transfer chicken to bowl with flour mixture. Toss to coat, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or large platter. Working in batches again, dip in buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then dip again in flour mixture. Transfer back to baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  • For the hot sauce:
  • Meanwhile, cook butter, hot sauce, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
  • For the blue cheese dip:

  • Fry the chicken:
  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Set a wire rack over another rimmed baking sheet.
  • Pour oil into a large heavy pot fitted with thermometer to a depth of 2". Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, fry chicken, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 4-6 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to prepared wire rack, season with salt, and keep warm in oven.
  • Right before serving, transfer fried chicken to a large bowl. Pour hot sauce mixture over and gently turn with tongs until coated. Serve with blue cheese dip and celery sticks alongside.

BAKED BUFFALO WINGS



Baked Buffalo Wings image

These easy to make hot wings are crispy without being fried. Always yummy to snack on. They only take 10 minutes for prep, but need to be refrigerated for about an hour so the flour coating is firm. You can add more cayenne or use a higher hot sauce to butter ratio if you like them spicier! Enjoy.

Time 2h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
20 chicken wings
½ cup melted butter
½ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture. Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet, and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into the butter mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of chicken wings. You can use a combination of drumettes and flats, or even whole wings. If you're using whole wings, be sure to cut them into two pieces at the joint.
  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a high-quality hot sauce. The hot sauce is the key ingredient in buffalo chicken wings, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a hot sauce that has a good balance of heat and flavor.
  • Bake the chicken wings until they are crispy. The chicken wings should be baked at a high temperature so that they get crispy on the outside. If you don't have a baking sheet, you can also use a grill or a deep fryer.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Buffalo chicken wings are traditionally served with ranch dressing, but you can also try other dipping sauces, such as blue cheese dressing or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Boneless buffalo chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties and game days. With a few simple ingredients, you can make boneless buffalo chicken wings that are sure to be a hit.
