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.

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.
